Abstract excerpt
Platelet membrane receptor glycoproteins (GP) are essential for the platelet activation process, and the genetic polymorphisms in the genes that encode platelet glycoproteins have been proposed to influence the risk of acute coronary syndrome and atherosclerosis. In this study, we investigated the role of GPIa, HPA-1 and HPA-3 polymorphisms as putative risk factors for myocardial infarction (MI) and the extent of...
