Abstract excerpt
The cell adhesion molecule P-selectin mediates the interaction of activated platelets or endothelial cells with leukocytes. In arterial and venous thromboembolism (VTE) increased soluble P-selectin (sP-selectin) concentrations have been found, and associations of P-selectin genotypes with thrombotic disease have been proposed. We assessed the effect of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) [one in the...
