Abstract:
Both blood platelets and genetics contribute to the development of acute ischemic arterial diseases. A careful analysis of the various clinical association studies supports a modest increased risk for coronary artery disease events in carriers of the PIA2 polymorphism of GPIIIa. Investigations with both platelets and stable cells lines have shown the PIA2 polymorphism is prothrombotic. Only a handful of studies have been performed for platelet GPla (integrin alpha2) and GPIb-IX-V, but there is support for the 807 T/C polymorphism of GPIa and the met145 and VNTR B/C genotype of GPIbalpha as risk factors in younger age groups. And isolated reports suggest other platelet polymorphisms (GPIIb, FcgammaRIIa, P-selectin, alpha2 adrenergic receptor, transforming growth factor [TGF]beta) are risk factors for arterial disease or produce a prothrombotic phenotype. Platelet glycoprotein polymorphisms should be added to the list of genetic risk factors for arterial thrombosis, particularly in younger patients and women.
