Several publications over the last ten years have addressed the problem of genetic mutation coding platelet membrane glycoproteins and thrombotic arterial disease. The principal polymorphisms studied are those of glycoproteins GPIIIa, GPIb and the GPIa-IIa complex. The relationships of each of these polymorphisms and myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease are reported and are often subject to controversy. The polymorphism PLA2 of the GPIIIa has been shown to be a risk factor for infarction in young people, especially when associated with cigarette smoking. Its role in triggering myocardial infarction or in the severity of coronary artery disease is not so clear in the general population. Two types of polymorphism concerning the GPIb and that of the GPIa-IIa complex should also predispose to early coronary thrombotic complications. In addition, the study of these platelet polymorphisms gives a better insight into individual sensitivity to platelet antiaggregant therapy.
