The Influence of Platelet Collagen Receptor Polymorphisms in Hemostasis and Thrombotic Disease
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Extracellular collagens modulate the rate of platelet activation and thereby markedly influence hemostasis and thrombosis. Platelet receptors for collagens, such as the integrin alpha(2)beta(1), platelet glycoprotein (GP) VI or, indirectly, the GPIb complex, are unexploited targets of pharmacological control, and polymorphisms of these receptors have recently become factored into the genetic risk for thrombosis....
