Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: ADAMTS13 (A Disintegrin-like and Metalloproteases with Thrombospondin type-1 repeats, member-13) plays an important role in vascular hemostasis by cleaving the von Willebrand Factor (vWF). ADAMTS13 and vWF are involved in the development of ischemic heart disease. In this review paper, we examine the effects of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and mutations in the vWF and ADAMTS13...
