Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic variations that affect the structure of the thromboxane A2 receptor (TP receptor) provide insights into the function of this key platelet and vascular receptor, but are very rare in unselected populations. OBJECTIVES: To determine the functional consequences of the TP receptor Trp29Cys (W29C) substitution. PATIENTS/METHODS: We performed a detailed phenotypic analysis of an index case (P1) with...
