Abstract excerpt
1. The thrombin receptor (the protease-activated receptor-1; PAR-1) is located on vascular cells as well as platelets and may play important roles in atherosclerotic disorders, such as coronary artery diseases (CAD). In the present study, we searched for genetic polymorphisms of the PAR-1 gene and evaluated their effects on CAD by association analysis. 2. We identified six polymorphisms in the 5'-untranslated...
