Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: CD36 is a multifunctional glycoprotein expressed on various human cells, including platelets and monocytes. Five CD36 gene mutations (C268T, 949insA, 329-339del, 1228-1239del and 629-631del/insAAAAC) are mainly responsible for CD36-deficient phenotypes in Japan. It has also been rep...
