Abstract excerpt
Platelets are thought to contribute to development of restenosis following percutaneous coronary interventions. The glycoprotein Ia/IIa complex is a major platelet collagen receptor, its surface expression being influenced by two, linked single nucleotide polymorphisms (C807T and G873A) in the glycoprotein Ia gene. T807 is associated with increased expression of this integrin receptor. We assessed whether T807 is...
