Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of plasma platelet-activating factor (PAF) acetylhydrolase deficiency was investigated in 477 healthy Japanese individuals and 985 patients with various cardiovascular diseases. The genotype for this enzyme with regard to a G994-->T mutation (MM, normal; Mm, heterozygote; mm, mutant homozygote) was determined by an allele-specific polymerase chain reaction in 80 subjects shown to have no or low...
