PCR-RFLP detection of PAI-2 variants in myocardial infarction.

Abstract excerpt

PAI-2 is one of the regulators of the fibrinolytic system. The importance of the fibrinolytic cascades in the pathogenesis of myocardial infarction has been demonstrated by many investigators. Recently, some investigators have shown that two variants of PAI-2, designated A and B, are associated with the formation of large molecular PAI-2 complexes. This polymorphism is therefore present a genetic predisposition...
