The association between plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) levels, PAI-1 4G/5G polymorphism, and myocardial infarction: A mendelian randomization meta-analysis
Nikolopoulos, Georgios K.; Bagos, Pantelis G.; Tsangaris, I.; Tsiara, Chrissa G.; Kopterides, Petros; Vaiopoulos, A.; Kapsimali, Violetta; Bonovas, Stefanos; Tsantes, Argirio E. (2014)Background: The circulating levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) are increased in individuals carrying the 4G allele at position -675 of the PAI-1 gene. In turn, overexpression of PAI-1 has been found ...

Association between the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 4G/5G polymorphism and venous thrombosis
Tsantes, Argirio E.; Nikolopoulos, Georgios K.; Bagos, Pantelis G.; Rapti, E.; Mantzios, Georgios P.; Kapsimali, Violetta; Travlou, Anthi S. (2007)The effect of the 675 insertion/deletion (4G/5G) polymorphism of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene on the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) remains controversial. In this study, we performed a meta-analysis ...
