Abstract excerpt
At sites of vascular injury, the platelet collagen receptor Glycoprotein Ia/IIa (GPIa/IIa) acts as an important mediator of platelet adhesion to fibrillar collagens. Two silent polymorphisms (807C/T and 873G/A) within the glycoprotein Ia gene have been implicated in increased risk of developing thrombosis and myocardial infarction in affected individuals. To provide basis for future studies, we examined the...
