Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Both platelet function and heart disease show strong genetic components, many of which remain to be elucidated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The roles of candidate polymorphisms in ten platelet-associated genes were compared between 1,237 Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) cases (with myocardial infarction and unstable angina) and 386 controls, from an Irish Caucasian population. Additionally, 361 stable angina...
