Abstract excerpt
Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of platelet receptors have been implicated to be associated with an increased risk of arterial thrombosis; this review focuses on the mechanisms and the clinical significance of two specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms, ie the GP IIIa L33P (=PlA1/2) and the GP Ia 807 C/T. Whereas the mechanism of P1A2 is thought to result from 'gain of receptor function' (and...
