Abstract excerpt
High expression of the collagen receptor, α2β1 integrin, on platelets of ITGA2 807T-allele carriers has been identified as a risk factor for thromboembolic conditions, and α2β1 inhibitors are considered to be potential therapeutic agents. In 59 genotyped individuals, we measured α2 expression levels on platelets and analyzed platelet adhesion to collagen under flow conditions. A sulfonamide-type small-molecule...
