Correlations of platelet-leukocyte aggregates with P-selectin S290N and P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 M62I genetic polymorphisms in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
The association of SNP rs2228315 in the P-Selectin Glycoprotein Ligand-1-gene (PSGL1) with ischemic stroke and platelet activation was significant before correction for multiple testing while a trend was observed for the association with PLA.
Our aim was to evaluate the contribution to CHD of the following SNPs: C-2123G, G-1969A and T715P in SELP, Met62Ile and the VNTR variants in PSGL-1 gene in a North African population from Tunisia.
In order to determine whether genetic variation in these pivotal molecules influences susceptibility to MS, we genotyped 214 Italian patients compared with 220 Italian controls for three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): SELPLG Met62Ile, SELP C-2123G and SELP Thr715Pro.
