Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hypercoagulation and thrombin generation are major risk factors for venous thrombosis. Sustained thrombin signaling through protease-activated receptor (PAR) 4 promotes platelet activation, phosphatidylserine exposure, and subsequent thrombin generation. A single nucleotide polymorphism in PAR4 (rs2227376) changes proline to leucine extracellular loop 3, which decreases PAR4 reactivity and is...
