Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Plasma platelet-activating factor-acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) is known to catalyze platelet-activating factor (PAF). The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of plasma PAF-AH gene (G994 -->T in exon 9) is associated with a decreased level of plasma PAF-AH activity. This study analyzed th...
