## Abstract Platelet inhibition is central to the efficacy of the intravenous glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor inhibitors. Differences in the degree of platelet inhibition achieved with these agents may account for the disparity in clinical efficacy noted in recently completed clinical trials. The pu
The platelet receptor P2Y12 (gene symbol P2RY12) is involved in several processes that contribute to restenosis after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). Therefore, common variation in the P2Y12 gene may serve as a useful marker for risk stratification. We studied whether common variation in
