The -455G/A polymorphism of the beta fibrinogen gene and the Bgl II polymorphism of the alpha2beta1 integrin gene and myocardial infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract excerpt

Platelets and fibrinogen might be involved in the pathogenesis of thrombus formation and MI. The Bgl II gene polymorphism of the alpha2beta1 integrin, which is a platelet collagen receptor, and the -455G/A polymorphism in the beta fibrinogen gene have been suggested as genetic risk factors for MI. The aim of this study was to look for a relationship between the -455G/A polymorphism in the beta fibrinogen gene and...
