Polymorphisms of the human platelet antigens HPA-1, HPA-2, HPA-3, and HPA-5 on the platelet receptors for fibrinogen (GPIIb/IIIa), von Willebrand factor (GPIb/IX), and collagen (GPIa/IIa) are not correlated with an increased risk for stroke.

Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A recent study has described a high incidence of the human platelet antigen (HPA)-1b alloantigen in patients with myocardial infarction. We investigated the distribution of gene polymorphisms of platelet glycoproteins (GPs) in patients with cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and stroke. The polymorphic systems we have studied are HPA-1 and HPA-3 on the fibrinogen receptor (GPIIb/IIIa), HPA-2 on...
