Abstract excerpt
The thrombin receptor, protease-activated receptor 4 (PAR4), is important for platelet activation and is the target of emerging anti-thrombotic drugs. A frequently occurring single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; rs773902) causes a function-altering PAR4 sequence variant (NC_000019.10:p.Ala120Thr), whereby platelets from Thr120-expressing individuals are hyper-responsive to PAR4 agonists and hypo-responsive to some...
