Conclusion The -5T/C polymorphism of the platelet glycoprotein GPIb α Kozak gene is implicated in the pathogenesis of TIA. C allele is an independent risk factor for TIA.
Objective:. To examine the relationship between the polymorphism of variant number of tandem repeats (VNTR) in the platelet receptor glycoprotein (GP) Ibα and ACS and assess its impact on the occurrence of ischaemic events although with anti-platelet treatment in Chinese Population.
