Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Platelets play a significant role in arterial thrombosis and are involved also in venous thrombosis. The genetic determinants of several platelet-related phenotypes have been studied previously. However, to the best of our knowledge, the genetic determinants of other platelet phenotypes have not been reported such as platelet-large-cell ratio (P-LCR) index, immature platelet fraction (IPF)...
