Functionalization of CD36 cardiovascular disease and expression associated variants by interdisciplinary high throughput analysis
25 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
CD36 is a platelet membrane glycoprotein whose engagement with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) results in platelet activation. The CD36 gene has been associated with platelet count, platelet volume, as well as lipid levels and CVD risk by genome-wide association studies. Platelet CD36 expression levels have been shown to be associated with both the platelet oxLDL response and an elevated risk of...
