Abstract excerpt
Platelet aggregation is crucial for the development of cerebral infarction (CI) and it is markedly increased due to the binding of thromboxane A2 (TXA2) to its receptor (TXA2R). Therefore, TXA2R plays a central role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and thrombosis. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between human TXA2R gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and non-cardiogenic CI in a...
