Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The interindividual variation in platelet α(2)β(1) exceeds a 2-fold variance in platelet α(IIb)β(3) level. Our objective was to parse the contribution of mean platelet volume (MPV) and integrin gene alleles to this variation in large cohorts of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and normal subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS: Platelet α(IIb)β(3) and α(2)β(1) levels were measured by flow cytometry in...
