Abstract excerpt
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate cell interactions in biological processes, such as receptor activation or molecule transfer. Estimates of variation by age and sex have been limited by small sample size, and no report has assessed the contribution of genetic factors to levels of EVs. Here, we evaluated blood levels of 25 EV and 3 platelet traits in 974 individuals (933 genotyped) and reported the first...
