Abstract excerpt
The role of platelet receptor gain-of-function single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in cardiovascular disease is controversial. We hypothesised that certain SNPs may accelerate the development of carotid artery stenosis. The intronic PAR-1 receptor intervening sequence-14 A/T (IVSn-14 A/T) polymorphism and three additional platelet receptor polymorphisms, i.e. GPIa (807C/T), GPIbα (5T/C) and HPA-1a/HPA-1b (Pl...
