Genetic risk score (GRS) constructed from polymorphisms in the PON1, IL-6, ITGB3, and ALDH2 genes is associated with the risk of coronary artery disease in Pakistani subjects.
Present meta-analysis demonstrates that 33Leu → Pro substitution of GPIIIa does not influence the prevalence and extent of angiographically defined coronary artery disease in general population, although apparently playing a role among younger patients.
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.
Polymorphism of platelet membrane glycoprotein IIIa: human platelet antigen 1b (HPA-1b/PlA2) is an inherited risk factor for premature myocardial infarction in coronary artery disease.
