Abstract excerpt
Platelet membrane glycoprotein Ib alpha has at least two polymorphisms which affect phenotype. One is the dimorphism at codon 145, and the other is a molecular weight polymorphism due to variable numbers of tandem repeats (TR) in the macroglycopeptide region. These two polymorphisms are in linkag...
