Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is very important in platelet adhesion and aggregation, inflammation, cell to cell interaction, and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. Therefore, it may play an important role in the progression of cardiovascular disease. Recently, the TSP-1 N700S variant was proposed to be a new genetic predictor for myocardial infarction (MI) in American population, but the...
