Abstract excerpt
A number of clinical studies have suggested that carriage of the low frequency allele (b) of the human platelet antigen 1 (HPA-1) system is a risk factor for coronary thrombosis. We have examined the effect of a series of HPA biallelic polymorphisms (systems -1, -2, -3 and -5) on the in vitro platelet aggregation in response to adrenaline and collagen in 30 healthy volunteers. There was a significantly higher...
