Abstract excerpt
Platelets have a central role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis. Adenosine diphosphate (ADP) plays a pivotal role as an agonist of platelet activation. Genetic polymorphisms of the P2Y12 ADP receptor might influence the activation of this receptor by ADP or the response of patients to platelet inhibitors. The present study was conducted on a total number of 80 participants, 40 patients were diagnosed with...
