1 Introduction

Platelet aggregation plays a central role in the pathogenesisof acute thrombosis in coronary heart disease stroke andperipheral arterial disease The cellular events leading toplatelet aggregation aremediated by the binding of fibrinogento the glycoprotein (GP)IIbIIIa receptor of platelets as a finalcommon pathway GPIIbIIIa is a platelet-specific surfacemembrane receptor and also called alpha IIb beta 3 (aIIb1205733) in the integrin nomenclature and thus plays a primaryrole in both platelet adhesion and thrombus formation atthe vascular injury site [1] A large interindividual numbervariability for GPIIbIIIa receptors expressed on the plateletsurface is commonly observed [2 3] Moreover a defect inthe GPIIbIIIa complex or a qualitative abnormality of thiscomplex is seen inGlanzmannrsquos thrombasthenia patientswithimpaired platelet aggregation and increased bleeding [4]

The ITGA2B gene encodes the aIIb subunit (GPIIb)whereas the ITGB3 gene encodes 1205733 (GPIIIa) The ITGA2B

spanning 17 kb has 30 exons whereas the ITGB3 spanning46 kb has 15 exons they are closely located on chromosome17q2132 without evidence for coordinated expression [5]A few studies have linked single-nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) in ITGA2B and ITGB3 with increased or decreasedplatelet responses to various agonists and the risk of acutecoronary syndrome and atherosclerosis [6ndash8]

A common polymorphism in the ITGB3 known as thehuman platelet antigen 1 (HPA-1b PlA2 or rs5918) arisesfrom a single-nucleotide change at position 1565 in Exon2 ofITGB3 resulting in a leucine (PlA1) to proline (PlA2) substi-tution at residue 33 [9]The SNP has been extensively studiedas an inherited risk factor for acute coronary syndromeand for its effect on the platelet function [6ndash8] The HPA-3 (rs5910) polymorphism results from a thymine to guaninebase change that leads to the replacement of isoleucine (HPA-3a) by serine (HPA-3b) at codon 843 of GPIIb (ITGA2B)Thispolymorphism may potentially influence the activity of theGPIIbIIIa complex and associate with thrombosis [10]

According to the aforementioned studies GPIIbIIIa wasbelieved to be a platelet-platelet contact receptor playing animportant role in platelet aggregation and its SNPswere asso-ciated with platelet hyperreactivity and have an effect on thepharmacodynamics of antiplatelet drugs However limitedinformationwas available on other genetic polymorphisms ofITGA2B and ITGB3 in Asian populations or their associationwith the platelet function [11 12] Moreover the prevalenceof the PlA2 allele (rs5918) is dependent on ethnicity with afrequency of approximately 15100 in Caucasian populations[13] falling to less than 1100 in Oriental populations [12 14]

In this study regions of the exons of ITGA2B and ITGB3genes were sequenced in 86 unrelated healthy Chinese Inaddition the association between genetic variants of ITGA2Band ITGB3 exons and the adenosine diphosphate- (ADP-)induced platelet aggregation GPIIbIIIa content bleedingtime and coagulation indexes was investigated in 55 of the86 subjects

2 Materials and Methods

21 Study Design The research was conducted in compliancewith the Declaration of Helsinki The study protocol wasapproved by the Ethical Review Board of the Peking Univer-sity First Hospital All subjects gave their written informedconsent prior to participation in the study Healthy nativeChinese subjects (119899 = 86) between 18 and 45 years of age witha bodymass index (BMI) of 19ndash24 kgm2 were included in thestudy and their genotypes were unknown

All the subjects were considered healthy on the basis oftheirmedical history physical examination vital signs (bloodpressure pulse rate and temperature) safety laboratory tests(blood chemistry hematological tests and urinalysis) and 12-lead electrocardiography

TheADP-induced platelet aggregation (transmission119879max) GPIIbIIIa content (GPIIbIIIa per platelet) bleedingtime and coagulation indexes including the mean plateletvolume (MPV) platelet count (PLT) prothrombin time (PT)activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) fibrinogen(FIB) and thrombin time (TT) were detected in 55 of the 86subjects None of the donors had taken any medication for 2weeks before blood collection

22 ADP-Induced Platelet Aggregation Blood was collectedin 38 sodium citrate tubes and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)was obtained by centrifuging blood at 1000 revolutions perminute (rpm) for 10 minutes at room temperature The PRPwas collected in a fresh tube and platelet was counted byPlatelet Counter PL100 (Sysmex Kobe Japan) Platelet-poorplasma (PPP) was obtained by centrifuging the remainingblood at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature andplatelet numbering PRP was adjusted to 250 times 109L by PPPDetection was completed within 1 hour after sampling

Platelet aggregation was determined by the turbidimetricmethod using 20 umolL ADP as the agonist After zerosetting with the PPP assays were performed in platelet-richplasma in a Chrono-Log aggregometer Platelet aggregationwas quantified as the maximum change in light transmissionoccurring within 5 minutes of addition of agonist

23 GPIIbIIIa Content GPIIbIIIa on the platelet surfacewas evaluated in the PRP as the maximal binding of a 125I-labeled GPIIbIIIa integrin antiplatelet antibody F(ab)

2[15]

The PRP was fixed with equal volume of anticoagulant-fixative solution (10mmolL EDTA-Na

2 02 glutaralde-

hyde and 002 sodium azide dissolved in PBS pH 74)After stored at 4∘C overnight platelet was washed byTyrodersquos solution twice and resuspended in Tyrode solu-tion containing 035 bovine serum albumin (concentrationadjusted to 1 times 1011 plateletsL) and sodium azide wasadded at final concentration of 002 (VV) to preserve theplatelet at 4∘C for a week-long before assay For detectionthe platelet suspension (100 120583L) was added to a 05mLEppendorf tube and then incubated with 100 120583L of antibody(containing 20000 cpm of labeled monoclonal antibody(McAb) and 08 120583g of unlabeled McAb) at 37∘C for 1 hourafter washed with 035 bovine serum albuminTyrodersquossolution for three times The radioactivity count of theprecipitate in the tube was measured Assuming that onemonoclonal antibody would only bind one GP moleculeon the platelet membrane the number of GP moleculeson the platelet membrane was calculated as number of GPmoleculesplatelet = (binding ratetimes amount of antibody (g)timesAvogadrorsquos number)(molecular weight of antibodytimes plateletcount)

24 Bleeding Time The skin bleeding time was carried outusing the Simplate-II device (General Diagnostics NJ USA)A sphygmomanometer cuff was inflated on the patientrsquos armto 40mmHg The arm was supported at the level of theheart and a muscular area on the volar aspect distal to theantecubital area was identified and swabbed with alcoholThe Simplate-II device was used to perform the incisionperpendicular to the antecubital fossa Bloodwas blottedwithsterile filter paper every 30 seconds until blood no longerstained the paper The time from incision to stopping ofbleeding was recorded

25 Genetic Analysis Genomic DNA was extracted fromperipheral whole blood samples of each subject using a DNAPurification Kit (Wizard Promega WI USA) After thepolymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were obtained allsamples were directly sequenced to determine the SNPs inITGA2B and ITGB3 (Life Technologies Biotechnology CoLtd China)

Primers required for PCR amplification and sequencingwere designed according to the wild-type ITGA2B andITGB3 sequences reported in theGenBank (NG 0083311 andNG 0083321 resp) Tables 1 and 2 describe the primer pairsused to amplify the promoters the 51015840- and 31015840-untranslatedregions (UTRs) the entire coding regions and the intron-exon junctions of the ITGA2B and ITGB3 genes

26 Data Analysis TheVariant Reporter v11 (Life Technolo-gies Biotechnology Co Ltd) software suite was used forthe initial analysis of the sequence including base callingfragment assembly SNP and sequence insertionsdeletionsdetection Polymorphisms of ITGA2B and ITGB3 geneswere named according to the genomic reference sequences

32 Linkage Disequilibrium Analysis Using the detectedpolymorphisms greater than 001 in frequency [MA(F) gt002] linkage disequilibrium (LD) was analyzed for |1198631015840|and 1199032 values (Figure 1) For ITGA2B rs5911 was completelylinked with rs850730 (1199032 = 100) and rs5910 was stronglylinked with rs850730 and rs5911 (1199032 = 095) For ITGB3 com-plete LD was observed between rs4642 and rs4634 (1199032 =100) Other LD results are shown in Figure 1 A new SNPITGB3-09 was found for which MA(F) in this study was0402

The HardyndashWeinberg equilibrium 119875 values of rs1009312and rs2015049 were lt0001 The possible reason is that thesample in this study may have a Chinese population of otherethnic groups besides the Han population Those two SNPswere not included in the LD analysis

4 Discussion

In this study 13 variants in the ITGA2B locus and 29 variantsin the ITGB3 locus in the Chinese population were observedTwo of the 29 variants located in ITGB3 were novel SNPswith MA(F) gt 002 Variants in ITGA2B and ITGB3 genesdisplayed significant interethnic differences in the globalpopulations (Table 6) The C allele frequency of SNP rs5918(TC) located in the ITGB3 gene was only inhomogeneouslydistributed at 07 in the Chinese population while it iscommon in whites and Africans (allele frequency 137versus 128) The following alleles of SNPs rs7208170Ars55827077C rs11871251A rs1009312G and rs2015049G werefound to be more common in the Han Chinese and Africans(37sim50) than in the European ancestry (10sim20) Inthe ITGA2B gene the rs5911 was completely linked withrs850730 and strongly linked with rs5910 in the Chinesepopulation in this study and all the three SNPswere commonin whites and Asians However the rs5911 was not found inAfricans According to the ethnicity difference described inthe preceding text resequencing of the ITGA2B and ITGB3genes in the Chinese population was believed to be veryimportant to reveal the function of SNPs

Variation in theMPV or PLT can have a profound impacton differences in the platelet function between individuals[16 17] and these traits have a strong genetic component [18ndash21] However limited information is available for Asians Inthe present study the A alleles of rs1009312 and rs2015049located in ITGB3 were positively associated with the MPV(119875 = 0029) The MPV had a trend in rs7208170 alleles butdid not reach a significant level (119875 = 0051) The differ-ence between PLT and SNPs in ITGA2B or ITGB3 was notsignificant

The APTT and PT are clinical tests commonly used toindicate coagulation factor deficiencies [22 23] activatedcoagulation and risk of venous thromboembolism [24 25]

To date two genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ofAPTT and PT conducted in the European ancestry have beenreported One study identified genome-wide significant asso-ciations of APTT and variants at F12 (MIM 610619) KNG1(MIM 612358) and HRG (MIM 142640) [26] In the otherresearch the GWAS for APTT and PT was conducted andreplicated genome-wide significant associations at KNG1HRG F11 F12 and ABO for APTT and identified significantassociations at the F7 and PROCREDEM2 regions for PTEight genetic loci accounted for sim29 of the variance inAPTT and two loci accounted for sim14 of the variance in PT[27] In this study the association of APTT PT FIB and TTwith ITGA2B and ITGB3SNPs was investigated The A alleleof ITGB3 rs70940817 was found to significantly correlate withthe elevated APTT and PT (119875 = 0003 and 119875 = 0002 resp)The T allele of ITGB3 rs112188890 was related with APTT(119875 = 0029) and the G allele of ITGB3 rs4642 was associatedwith TT and FIB (119875 = 0015 and 119875 = 0029 resp)

TheADP-induced platelet aggregation test was often usedto identify the platelet function and the efficacy of antiplateletdrugs Jones et al detected 1327 SNPs and investigated theircorrelation with ADP or collagen-related peptide-inducedplatelet aggregation in 500 healthy northern European sub-jects This identified 17 novel associations with the plateletfunction (119875 lt 0005) accounting for approximately 46 ofthe variation in response [28] In this study the minor alleleof rs56197296 and rs5919 was found to be associated with thedecreased ADP-induced platelet aggregation (119875 = 0014 and119875 = 0015 resp)

GPIIbIIIa is the central receptor of platelet aggrega-tion The variations of GPIIbIIIa amount expressed on aplatelet surface might affect the platelet-aggregating activityMany studies reported that the rs5918 correlated with theGPIIbIIIa receptor expression [29] however many conflictstudies have also been published [3 30] OrsquoHalloran et alinvestigated whether three polymorphisms of the GPIIIapromoter (minus468GA minus425AC and minus400CA) influencedthe RNA expression and receptor density in the plateletsof patients with cardiovascular disease [3] They found athreefold variation between the subjects in the number ofGPIIbIIIa receptors expressed per platelet although noassociation between the receptor density and the PlA2 orthe three promoter polymorphisms was demonstrated In thepresent study rs55827077 which was located at the promoterregion of the GPIIIs gene at position minus145 was related withGPIIbIIIa per platelet

The bleeding time is a test that evaluates the plateletfunction in vivo A prolonged bleeding time can result fromplatelet abnormality Von Willebrand factor deficiency orvascular disorders such as EhlersndashDanlos syndrome A dis-ruption of platelet aggregation results in a prolongation of thebleeding time [31] In this study the bleeding time was relatedwith rs3760364 of ITGA2B and rs7208170 rs567581451 andrs117052258 of ITGB3 (119875 lt 005) No previous study report-ing on the effect of SNPs on the bleeding time was foundThemechanism of the relationship needs to be further examinedHowever a negative trend between the bleeding time andMPV (119903 = minus0244 119875 = 0073) was observed Moreoverrs1009312 and rs2015049 were found to significantly associate

with both bleeding time and MPV Further the minor allelesof rs7208170 and rs567581451 whichwere significantly relatedwith the bleeding time had a trend with the MPV amonggenotypes although they did not reach a significant level (119875 =0051 and 119875 = 0054 resp) However no relationship wasobserved among SNPs bleeding time andMPV in rs3760364and rs117052258

In this study a positive correlation of the level of ADP-induced aggregation and GPIIbIIIa content was detectedin healthy volunteers This correlation is consistent with a

previous report Yakushkin et al investigated the relationshipbetween the number of GPIIbIIIa and the level of ADP-induced aggregation in a group of 35 healthy volunteers andfound positive and significant correlations between the levelof platelet aggregation induced by different ADP doses (from125 to 20mmolL) and the number of GPIIbIIIa [32]

A strong positive correlation was observed betweenGPIIbIIIa per platelet and PLT PT and TT (119875 lt 001)Although the TT was strongly correlated with GPIIbIIIa perplatelet (119903 = 0545 119875 lt 0001) the relationship of SNPsTT

and SNPsGP (IIbIIIa) content is not linked For exampleITGB3 rs4642 was significantly related with the TT (119875 =0015) while the value of GPIIbIIIa per platelet had no trendamong rs4642 genotypes (119875 = 0789) The other coagulationindexes were the same Therefore the relationship betweenSNPs and GPIIbIIIa content cannot be deduced from thecorrelation of coagulation indexes and SNPs

Some of the significant correlations between SNPs andplatelet function parameters in the present study were notreported previously which may be due to the reason thatSNPs with low MA(F) in the European ancestry were notselected as candidate SNPs in previous studies For examplethe GWAS-genotyping platforms lack the coverage of lowfrequencyrare variants [33] Moreover LDmight be anotherreason if different genetic patterns (haplotypes) are presentin different populations [3]

A possible limitation of the current study is the limitednumber of subjects After stratification the number of sub-jects in each genotypic group was small thereby limitingfurther haplotype association analysis and accession of smalleffects of an SNP with a small minor allele frequency

5 Conclusion

In summary as ethnicity difference might limit the interpre-tation of the function of SNPs resequencing the ITGA2B andITGB3 genes and investigating their functions in the Chinesepopulation are very important In the present study nineSNPs were found to associate with indexes of platelet andcoagulation haemostasis Newer studies are needed particu-larly to further assess the clinical importance of the above-discussed SNPs in disease susceptibility and antiplateletdrugs pharmacodynamics Further studies should pay moreattention to the roles of ITGA2B and ITGB3 SNPs in ethnicvariations

According to the aforementioned studies GPIIbIIIa wasbelieved to be a platelet-platelet contact receptor playing animportant role in platelet aggregation and its SNPswere asso-ciated with platelet hyperreactivity and have an effect on thepharmacodynamics of antiplatelet drugs However limitedinformationwas available on other genetic polymorphisms ofITGA2B and ITGB3 in Asian populations or their associationwith the platelet function [11 12] Moreover the prevalenceof the PlA2 allele (rs5918) is dependent on ethnicity with afrequency of approximately 15100 in Caucasian populations[13] falling to less than 1100 in Oriental populations [12 14]

In this study regions of the exons of ITGA2B and ITGB3genes were sequenced in 86 unrelated healthy Chinese Inaddition the association between genetic variants of ITGA2Band ITGB3 exons and the adenosine diphosphate- (ADP-)induced platelet aggregation GPIIbIIIa content bleedingtime and coagulation indexes was investigated in 55 of the86 subjects

2 Materials and Methods

21 Study Design The research was conducted in compliancewith the Declaration of Helsinki The study protocol wasapproved by the Ethical Review Board of the Peking Univer-sity First Hospital All subjects gave their written informedconsent prior to participation in the study Healthy nativeChinese subjects (119899 = 86) between 18 and 45 years of age witha bodymass index (BMI) of 19ndash24 kgm2 were included in thestudy and their genotypes were unknown

All the subjects were considered healthy on the basis oftheirmedical history physical examination vital signs (bloodpressure pulse rate and temperature) safety laboratory tests(blood chemistry hematological tests and urinalysis) and 12-lead electrocardiography

TheADP-induced platelet aggregation (transmission119879max) GPIIbIIIa content (GPIIbIIIa per platelet) bleedingtime and coagulation indexes including the mean plateletvolume (MPV) platelet count (PLT) prothrombin time (PT)activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) fibrinogen(FIB) and thrombin time (TT) were detected in 55 of the 86subjects None of the donors had taken any medication for 2weeks before blood collection

22 ADP-Induced Platelet Aggregation Blood was collectedin 38 sodium citrate tubes and platelet-rich plasma (PRP)was obtained by centrifuging blood at 1000 revolutions perminute (rpm) for 10 minutes at room temperature The PRPwas collected in a fresh tube and platelet was counted byPlatelet Counter PL100 (Sysmex Kobe Japan) Platelet-poorplasma (PPP) was obtained by centrifuging the remainingblood at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes at room temperature andplatelet numbering PRP was adjusted to 250 times 109L by PPPDetection was completed within 1 hour after sampling

Platelet aggregation was determined by the turbidimetricmethod using 20 umolL ADP as the agonist After zerosetting with the PPP assays were performed in platelet-richplasma in a Chrono-Log aggregometer Platelet aggregationwas quantified as the maximum change in light transmissionoccurring within 5 minutes of addition of agonist

23 GPIIbIIIa Content GPIIbIIIa on the platelet surfacewas evaluated in the PRP as the maximal binding of a 125I-labeled GPIIbIIIa integrin antiplatelet antibody F(ab)

2[15]

The PRP was fixed with equal volume of anticoagulant-fixative solution (10mmolL EDTA-Na

2 02 glutaralde-

hyde and 002 sodium azide dissolved in PBS pH 74)After stored at 4∘C overnight platelet was washed byTyrodersquos solution twice and resuspended in Tyrode solu-tion containing 035 bovine serum albumin (concentrationadjusted to 1 times 1011 plateletsL) and sodium azide wasadded at final concentration of 002 (VV) to preserve theplatelet at 4∘C for a week-long before assay For detectionthe platelet suspension (100 120583L) was added to a 05mLEppendorf tube and then incubated with 100 120583L of antibody(containing 20000 cpm of labeled monoclonal antibody(McAb) and 08 120583g of unlabeled McAb) at 37∘C for 1 hourafter washed with 035 bovine serum albuminTyrodersquossolution for three times The radioactivity count of theprecipitate in the tube was measured Assuming that onemonoclonal antibody would only bind one GP moleculeon the platelet membrane the number of GP moleculeson the platelet membrane was calculated as number of GPmoleculesplatelet = (binding ratetimes amount of antibody (g)timesAvogadrorsquos number)(molecular weight of antibodytimes plateletcount)

24 Bleeding Time The skin bleeding time was carried outusing the Simplate-II device (General Diagnostics NJ USA)A sphygmomanometer cuff was inflated on the patientrsquos armto 40mmHg The arm was supported at the level of theheart and a muscular area on the volar aspect distal to theantecubital area was identified and swabbed with alcoholThe Simplate-II device was used to perform the incisionperpendicular to the antecubital fossa Bloodwas blottedwithsterile filter paper every 30 seconds until blood no longerstained the paper The time from incision to stopping ofbleeding was recorded

25 Genetic Analysis Genomic DNA was extracted fromperipheral whole blood samples of each subject using a DNAPurification Kit (Wizard Promega WI USA) After thepolymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were obtained allsamples were directly sequenced to determine the SNPs inITGA2B and ITGB3 (Life Technologies Biotechnology CoLtd China)

Primers required for PCR amplification and sequencingwere designed according to the wild-type ITGA2B andITGB3 sequences reported in theGenBank (NG 0083311 andNG 0083321 resp) Tables 1 and 2 describe the primer pairsused to amplify the promoters the 51015840- and 31015840-untranslatedregions (UTRs) the entire coding regions and the intron-exon junctions of the ITGA2B and ITGB3 genes

26 Data Analysis TheVariant Reporter v11 (Life Technolo-gies Biotechnology Co Ltd) software suite was used forthe initial analysis of the sequence including base callingfragment assembly SNP and sequence insertionsdeletionsdetection Polymorphisms of ITGA2B and ITGB3 geneswere named according to the genomic reference sequences

27 Statistical Analysis The association between two param-eters was assessed by Pearsonrsquos two-tailed test Statisticalanalyses were performed using the Statistical Package forSocial Sciences software program forWindows (SPSS version160) A 119875 value of 005 was considered significant

3 Results

31 ITGA2B and ITGB3Variations Within the Chinese sam-ple 13 and 29 variants in ITGA2B and ITGB3were identifiedrespectively Two novel ITGB3 SNPs with MA(F) gt 002were found which were not reported in the National Cen-ter for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) dbSNP database(httpswwwncbinlmnihgovsnp) The allele frequenciesandHardyndashWeinberg equilibrium test results of the identifiedpolymorphic sites are shown in Tables 3 and 4

32 Linkage Disequilibrium Analysis Using the detectedpolymorphisms greater than 001 in frequency [MA(F) gt002] linkage disequilibrium (LD) was analyzed for |1198631015840|and 1199032 values (Figure 1) For ITGA2B rs5911 was completelylinked with rs850730 (1199032 = 100) and rs5910 was stronglylinked with rs850730 and rs5911 (1199032 = 095) For ITGB3 com-plete LD was observed between rs4642 and rs4634 (1199032 =100) Other LD results are shown in Figure 1 A new SNPITGB3-09 was found for which MA(F) in this study was0402

The HardyndashWeinberg equilibrium 119875 values of rs1009312and rs2015049 were lt0001 The possible reason is that thesample in this study may have a Chinese population of otherethnic groups besides the Han population Those two SNPswere not included in the LD analysis

33 Correlation of ADP-Induced Platelet Aggregation GPIIbIIIa Content Bleeding Time and Coagulation Indexes TheGPIIbIIIa contents present as average numbers of GPIIbIIIa receptor in each platelet were associated with ADP-induced platelet aggregation (119903 = 0280 119875 = 0038) PLT(119903 = minus0522 119875 lt 0001) PT (119903 = 0453 119875 = 0001) andTT (119903 = 0545 119875 lt 0001) (Figures 1 and 2) The relationshipbetween GPIIbIIIa content and APTT was not significant(119903 = 0242 119875 = 0075) while the association between ADP-induced platelet aggregation and APTT was moderatelysignificant (119903 = 0267 119875 = 0049) (Figure S1) The bleedingtime had no association with other parameters It had anegative association trend with MPV but was not significant(119903 = minus0244 119875 = 0073) The PLT was associated with PT(119903 = minus0415 119875 = 0002) and TT (119903 = minus0363 119875 = 0007)

4 Discussion

In this study 13 variants in the ITGA2B locus and 29 variantsin the ITGB3 locus in the Chinese population were observedTwo of the 29 variants located in ITGB3 were novel SNPswith MA(F) gt 002 Variants in ITGA2B and ITGB3 genesdisplayed significant interethnic differences in the globalpopulations (Table 6) The C allele frequency of SNP rs5918(TC) located in the ITGB3 gene was only inhomogeneouslydistributed at 07 in the Chinese population while it iscommon in whites and Africans (allele frequency 137versus 128) The following alleles of SNPs rs7208170Ars55827077C rs11871251A rs1009312G and rs2015049G werefound to be more common in the Han Chinese and Africans(37sim50) than in the European ancestry (10sim20) Inthe ITGA2B gene the rs5911 was completely linked withrs850730 and strongly linked with rs5910 in the Chinesepopulation in this study and all the three SNPswere commonin whites and Asians However the rs5911 was not found inAfricans According to the ethnicity difference described inthe preceding text resequencing of the ITGA2B and ITGB3genes in the Chinese population was believed to be veryimportant to reveal the function of SNPs

Variation in theMPV or PLT can have a profound impacton differences in the platelet function between individuals[16 17] and these traits have a strong genetic component [18ndash21] However limited information is available for Asians Inthe present study the A alleles of rs1009312 and rs2015049located in ITGB3 were positively associated with the MPV(119875 = 0029) The MPV had a trend in rs7208170 alleles butdid not reach a significant level (119875 = 0051) The differ-ence between PLT and SNPs in ITGA2B or ITGB3 was notsignificant

The APTT and PT are clinical tests commonly used toindicate coagulation factor deficiencies [22 23] activatedcoagulation and risk of venous thromboembolism [24 25]

To date two genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ofAPTT and PT conducted in the European ancestry have beenreported One study identified genome-wide significant asso-ciations of APTT and variants at F12 (MIM 610619) KNG1(MIM 612358) and HRG (MIM 142640) [26] In the otherresearch the GWAS for APTT and PT was conducted andreplicated genome-wide significant associations at KNG1HRG F11 F12 and ABO for APTT and identified significantassociations at the F7 and PROCREDEM2 regions for PTEight genetic loci accounted for sim29 of the variance inAPTT and two loci accounted for sim14 of the variance in PT[27] In this study the association of APTT PT FIB and TTwith ITGA2B and ITGB3SNPs was investigated The A alleleof ITGB3 rs70940817 was found to significantly correlate withthe elevated APTT and PT (119875 = 0003 and 119875 = 0002 resp)The T allele of ITGB3 rs112188890 was related with APTT(119875 = 0029) and the G allele of ITGB3 rs4642 was associatedwith TT and FIB (119875 = 0015 and 119875 = 0029 resp)

TheADP-induced platelet aggregation test was often usedto identify the platelet function and the efficacy of antiplateletdrugs Jones et al detected 1327 SNPs and investigated theircorrelation with ADP or collagen-related peptide-inducedplatelet aggregation in 500 healthy northern European sub-jects This identified 17 novel associations with the plateletfunction (119875 lt 0005) accounting for approximately 46 ofthe variation in response [28] In this study the minor alleleof rs56197296 and rs5919 was found to be associated with thedecreased ADP-induced platelet aggregation (119875 = 0014 and119875 = 0015 resp)

GPIIbIIIa is the central receptor of platelet aggrega-tion The variations of GPIIbIIIa amount expressed on aplatelet surface might affect the platelet-aggregating activityMany studies reported that the rs5918 correlated with theGPIIbIIIa receptor expression [29] however many conflictstudies have also been published [3 30] OrsquoHalloran et alinvestigated whether three polymorphisms of the GPIIIapromoter (minus468GA minus425AC and minus400CA) influencedthe RNA expression and receptor density in the plateletsof patients with cardiovascular disease [3] They found athreefold variation between the subjects in the number ofGPIIbIIIa receptors expressed per platelet although noassociation between the receptor density and the PlA2 orthe three promoter polymorphisms was demonstrated In thepresent study rs55827077 which was located at the promoterregion of the GPIIIs gene at position minus145 was related withGPIIbIIIa per platelet

The bleeding time is a test that evaluates the plateletfunction in vivo A prolonged bleeding time can result fromplatelet abnormality Von Willebrand factor deficiency orvascular disorders such as EhlersndashDanlos syndrome A dis-ruption of platelet aggregation results in a prolongation of thebleeding time [31] In this study the bleeding time was relatedwith rs3760364 of ITGA2B and rs7208170 rs567581451 andrs117052258 of ITGB3 (119875 lt 005) No previous study report-ing on the effect of SNPs on the bleeding time was foundThemechanism of the relationship needs to be further examinedHowever a negative trend between the bleeding time andMPV (119903 = minus0244 119875 = 0073) was observed Moreoverrs1009312 and rs2015049 were found to significantly associate

with both bleeding time and MPV Further the minor allelesof rs7208170 and rs567581451 whichwere significantly relatedwith the bleeding time had a trend with the MPV amonggenotypes although they did not reach a significant level (119875 =0051 and 119875 = 0054 resp) However no relationship wasobserved among SNPs bleeding time andMPV in rs3760364and rs117052258

In this study a positive correlation of the level of ADP-induced aggregation and GPIIbIIIa content was detectedin healthy volunteers This correlation is consistent with a

previous report Yakushkin et al investigated the relationshipbetween the number of GPIIbIIIa and the level of ADP-induced aggregation in a group of 35 healthy volunteers andfound positive and significant correlations between the levelof platelet aggregation induced by different ADP doses (from125 to 20mmolL) and the number of GPIIbIIIa [32]

A strong positive correlation was observed betweenGPIIbIIIa per platelet and PLT PT and TT (119875 lt 001)Although the TT was strongly correlated with GPIIbIIIa perplatelet (119903 = 0545 119875 lt 0001) the relationship of SNPsTT

and SNPsGP (IIbIIIa) content is not linked For exampleITGB3 rs4642 was significantly related with the TT (119875 =0015) while the value of GPIIbIIIa per platelet had no trendamong rs4642 genotypes (119875 = 0789) The other coagulationindexes were the same Therefore the relationship betweenSNPs and GPIIbIIIa content cannot be deduced from thecorrelation of coagulation indexes and SNPs

Some of the significant correlations between SNPs andplatelet function parameters in the present study were notreported previously which may be due to the reason thatSNPs with low MA(F) in the European ancestry were notselected as candidate SNPs in previous studies For examplethe GWAS-genotyping platforms lack the coverage of lowfrequencyrare variants [33] Moreover LDmight be anotherreason if different genetic patterns (haplotypes) are presentin different populations [3]

A possible limitation of the current study is the limitednumber of subjects After stratification the number of sub-jects in each genotypic group was small thereby limitingfurther haplotype association analysis and accession of smalleffects of an SNP with a small minor allele frequency

5 Conclusion

In summary as ethnicity difference might limit the interpre-tation of the function of SNPs resequencing the ITGA2B andITGB3 genes and investigating their functions in the Chinesepopulation are very important In the present study nineSNPs were found to associate with indexes of platelet andcoagulation haemostasis Newer studies are needed particu-larly to further assess the clinical importance of the above-discussed SNPs in disease susceptibility and antiplateletdrugs pharmacodynamics Further studies should pay moreattention to the roles of ITGA2B and ITGB3 SNPs in ethnicvariations

27 Statistical Analysis The association between two param-eters was assessed by Pearsonrsquos two-tailed test Statisticalanalyses were performed using the Statistical Package forSocial Sciences software program forWindows (SPSS version160) A 119875 value of 005 was considered significant

3 Results

31 ITGA2B and ITGB3Variations Within the Chinese sam-ple 13 and 29 variants in ITGA2B and ITGB3were identifiedrespectively Two novel ITGB3 SNPs with MA(F) gt 002were found which were not reported in the National Cen-ter for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) dbSNP database(httpswwwncbinlmnihgovsnp) The allele frequenciesandHardyndashWeinberg equilibrium test results of the identifiedpolymorphic sites are shown in Tables 3 and 4

32 Linkage Disequilibrium Analysis Using the detectedpolymorphisms greater than 001 in frequency [MA(F) gt002] linkage disequilibrium (LD) was analyzed for |1198631015840|and 1199032 values (Figure 1) For ITGA2B rs5911 was completelylinked with rs850730 (1199032 = 100) and rs5910 was stronglylinked with rs850730 and rs5911 (1199032 = 095) For ITGB3 com-plete LD was observed between rs4642 and rs4634 (1199032 =100) Other LD results are shown in Figure 1 A new SNPITGB3-09 was found for which MA(F) in this study was0402

The HardyndashWeinberg equilibrium 119875 values of rs1009312and rs2015049 were lt0001 The possible reason is that thesample in this study may have a Chinese population of otherethnic groups besides the Han population Those two SNPswere not included in the LD analysis

33 Correlation of ADP-Induced Platelet Aggregation GPIIbIIIa Content Bleeding Time and Coagulation Indexes TheGPIIbIIIa contents present as average numbers of GPIIbIIIa receptor in each platelet were associated with ADP-induced platelet aggregation (119903 = 0280 119875 = 0038) PLT(119903 = minus0522 119875 lt 0001) PT (119903 = 0453 119875 = 0001) andTT (119903 = 0545 119875 lt 0001) (Figures 1 and 2) The relationshipbetween GPIIbIIIa content and APTT was not significant(119903 = 0242 119875 = 0075) while the association between ADP-induced platelet aggregation and APTT was moderatelysignificant (119903 = 0267 119875 = 0049) (Figure S1) The bleedingtime had no association with other parameters It had anegative association trend with MPV but was not significant(119903 = minus0244 119875 = 0073) The PLT was associated with PT(119903 = minus0415 119875 = 0002) and TT (119903 = minus0363 119875 = 0007)

4 Discussion

In this study 13 variants in the ITGA2B locus and 29 variantsin the ITGB3 locus in the Chinese population were observedTwo of the 29 variants located in ITGB3 were novel SNPswith MA(F) gt 002 Variants in ITGA2B and ITGB3 genesdisplayed significant interethnic differences in the globalpopulations (Table 6) The C allele frequency of SNP rs5918(TC) located in the ITGB3 gene was only inhomogeneouslydistributed at 07 in the Chinese population while it iscommon in whites and Africans (allele frequency 137versus 128) The following alleles of SNPs rs7208170Ars55827077C rs11871251A rs1009312G and rs2015049G werefound to be more common in the Han Chinese and Africans(37sim50) than in the European ancestry (10sim20) Inthe ITGA2B gene the rs5911 was completely linked withrs850730 and strongly linked with rs5910 in the Chinesepopulation in this study and all the three SNPswere commonin whites and Asians However the rs5911 was not found inAfricans According to the ethnicity difference described inthe preceding text resequencing of the ITGA2B and ITGB3genes in the Chinese population was believed to be veryimportant to reveal the function of SNPs

Variation in theMPV or PLT can have a profound impacton differences in the platelet function between individuals[16 17] and these traits have a strong genetic component [18ndash21] However limited information is available for Asians Inthe present study the A alleles of rs1009312 and rs2015049located in ITGB3 were positively associated with the MPV(119875 = 0029) The MPV had a trend in rs7208170 alleles butdid not reach a significant level (119875 = 0051) The differ-ence between PLT and SNPs in ITGA2B or ITGB3 was notsignificant

The APTT and PT are clinical tests commonly used toindicate coagulation factor deficiencies [22 23] activatedcoagulation and risk of venous thromboembolism [24 25]

To date two genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ofAPTT and PT conducted in the European ancestry have beenreported One study identified genome-wide significant asso-ciations of APTT and variants at F12 (MIM 610619) KNG1(MIM 612358) and HRG (MIM 142640) [26] In the otherresearch the GWAS for APTT and PT was conducted andreplicated genome-wide significant associations at KNG1HRG F11 F12 and ABO for APTT and identified significantassociations at the F7 and PROCREDEM2 regions for PTEight genetic loci accounted for sim29 of the variance inAPTT and two loci accounted for sim14 of the variance in PT[27] In this study the association of APTT PT FIB and TTwith ITGA2B and ITGB3SNPs was investigated The A alleleof ITGB3 rs70940817 was found to significantly correlate withthe elevated APTT and PT (119875 = 0003 and 119875 = 0002 resp)The T allele of ITGB3 rs112188890 was related with APTT(119875 = 0029) and the G allele of ITGB3 rs4642 was associatedwith TT and FIB (119875 = 0015 and 119875 = 0029 resp)

TheADP-induced platelet aggregation test was often usedto identify the platelet function and the efficacy of antiplateletdrugs Jones et al detected 1327 SNPs and investigated theircorrelation with ADP or collagen-related peptide-inducedplatelet aggregation in 500 healthy northern European sub-jects This identified 17 novel associations with the plateletfunction (119875 lt 0005) accounting for approximately 46 ofthe variation in response [28] In this study the minor alleleof rs56197296 and rs5919 was found to be associated with thedecreased ADP-induced platelet aggregation (119875 = 0014 and119875 = 0015 resp)

GPIIbIIIa is the central receptor of platelet aggrega-tion The variations of GPIIbIIIa amount expressed on aplatelet surface might affect the platelet-aggregating activityMany studies reported that the rs5918 correlated with theGPIIbIIIa receptor expression [29] however many conflictstudies have also been published [3 30] OrsquoHalloran et alinvestigated whether three polymorphisms of the GPIIIapromoter (minus468GA minus425AC and minus400CA) influencedthe RNA expression and receptor density in the plateletsof patients with cardiovascular disease [3] They found athreefold variation between the subjects in the number ofGPIIbIIIa receptors expressed per platelet although noassociation between the receptor density and the PlA2 orthe three promoter polymorphisms was demonstrated In thepresent study rs55827077 which was located at the promoterregion of the GPIIIs gene at position minus145 was related withGPIIbIIIa per platelet

The bleeding time is a test that evaluates the plateletfunction in vivo A prolonged bleeding time can result fromplatelet abnormality Von Willebrand factor deficiency orvascular disorders such as EhlersndashDanlos syndrome A dis-ruption of platelet aggregation results in a prolongation of thebleeding time [31] In this study the bleeding time was relatedwith rs3760364 of ITGA2B and rs7208170 rs567581451 andrs117052258 of ITGB3 (119875 lt 005) No previous study report-ing on the effect of SNPs on the bleeding time was foundThemechanism of the relationship needs to be further examinedHowever a negative trend between the bleeding time andMPV (119903 = minus0244 119875 = 0073) was observed Moreoverrs1009312 and rs2015049 were found to significantly associate

with both bleeding time and MPV Further the minor allelesof rs7208170 and rs567581451 whichwere significantly relatedwith the bleeding time had a trend with the MPV amonggenotypes although they did not reach a significant level (119875 =0051 and 119875 = 0054 resp) However no relationship wasobserved among SNPs bleeding time andMPV in rs3760364and rs117052258

In this study a positive correlation of the level of ADP-induced aggregation and GPIIbIIIa content was detectedin healthy volunteers This correlation is consistent with a

previous report Yakushkin et al investigated the relationshipbetween the number of GPIIbIIIa and the level of ADP-induced aggregation in a group of 35 healthy volunteers andfound positive and significant correlations between the levelof platelet aggregation induced by different ADP doses (from125 to 20mmolL) and the number of GPIIbIIIa [32]

A strong positive correlation was observed betweenGPIIbIIIa per platelet and PLT PT and TT (119875 lt 001)Although the TT was strongly correlated with GPIIbIIIa perplatelet (119903 = 0545 119875 lt 0001) the relationship of SNPsTT

and SNPsGP (IIbIIIa) content is not linked For exampleITGB3 rs4642 was significantly related with the TT (119875 =0015) while the value of GPIIbIIIa per platelet had no trendamong rs4642 genotypes (119875 = 0789) The other coagulationindexes were the same Therefore the relationship betweenSNPs and GPIIbIIIa content cannot be deduced from thecorrelation of coagulation indexes and SNPs

Some of the significant correlations between SNPs andplatelet function parameters in the present study were notreported previously which may be due to the reason thatSNPs with low MA(F) in the European ancestry were notselected as candidate SNPs in previous studies For examplethe GWAS-genotyping platforms lack the coverage of lowfrequencyrare variants [33] Moreover LDmight be anotherreason if different genetic patterns (haplotypes) are presentin different populations [3]

A possible limitation of the current study is the limitednumber of subjects After stratification the number of sub-jects in each genotypic group was small thereby limitingfurther haplotype association analysis and accession of smalleffects of an SNP with a small minor allele frequency

5 Conclusion

In summary as ethnicity difference might limit the interpre-tation of the function of SNPs resequencing the ITGA2B andITGB3 genes and investigating their functions in the Chinesepopulation are very important In the present study nineSNPs were found to associate with indexes of platelet andcoagulation haemostasis Newer studies are needed particu-larly to further assess the clinical importance of the above-discussed SNPs in disease susceptibility and antiplateletdrugs pharmacodynamics Further studies should pay moreattention to the roles of ITGA2B and ITGB3 SNPs in ethnicvariations

27 Statistical Analysis The association between two param-eters was assessed by Pearsonrsquos two-tailed test Statisticalanalyses were performed using the Statistical Package forSocial Sciences software program forWindows (SPSS version160) A 119875 value of 005 was considered significant

3 Results

31 ITGA2B and ITGB3Variations Within the Chinese sam-ple 13 and 29 variants in ITGA2B and ITGB3were identifiedrespectively Two novel ITGB3 SNPs with MA(F) gt 002were found which were not reported in the National Cen-ter for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) dbSNP database(httpswwwncbinlmnihgovsnp) The allele frequenciesandHardyndashWeinberg equilibrium test results of the identifiedpolymorphic sites are shown in Tables 3 and 4

32 Linkage Disequilibrium Analysis Using the detectedpolymorphisms greater than 001 in frequency [MA(F) gt002] linkage disequilibrium (LD) was analyzed for |1198631015840|and 1199032 values (Figure 1) For ITGA2B rs5911 was completelylinked with rs850730 (1199032 = 100) and rs5910 was stronglylinked with rs850730 and rs5911 (1199032 = 095) For ITGB3 com-plete LD was observed between rs4642 and rs4634 (1199032 =100) Other LD results are shown in Figure 1 A new SNPITGB3-09 was found for which MA(F) in this study was0402

The HardyndashWeinberg equilibrium 119875 values of rs1009312and rs2015049 were lt0001 The possible reason is that thesample in this study may have a Chinese population of otherethnic groups besides the Han population Those two SNPswere not included in the LD analysis

33 Correlation of ADP-Induced Platelet Aggregation GPIIbIIIa Content Bleeding Time and Coagulation Indexes TheGPIIbIIIa contents present as average numbers of GPIIbIIIa receptor in each platelet were associated with ADP-induced platelet aggregation (119903 = 0280 119875 = 0038) PLT(119903 = minus0522 119875 lt 0001) PT (119903 = 0453 119875 = 0001) andTT (119903 = 0545 119875 lt 0001) (Figures 1 and 2) The relationshipbetween GPIIbIIIa content and APTT was not significant(119903 = 0242 119875 = 0075) while the association between ADP-induced platelet aggregation and APTT was moderatelysignificant (119903 = 0267 119875 = 0049) (Figure S1) The bleedingtime had no association with other parameters It had anegative association trend with MPV but was not significant(119903 = minus0244 119875 = 0073) The PLT was associated with PT(119903 = minus0415 119875 = 0002) and TT (119903 = minus0363 119875 = 0007)

4 Discussion

In this study 13 variants in the ITGA2B locus and 29 variantsin the ITGB3 locus in the Chinese population were observedTwo of the 29 variants located in ITGB3 were novel SNPswith MA(F) gt 002 Variants in ITGA2B and ITGB3 genesdisplayed significant interethnic differences in the globalpopulations (Table 6) The C allele frequency of SNP rs5918(TC) located in the ITGB3 gene was only inhomogeneouslydistributed at 07 in the Chinese population while it iscommon in whites and Africans (allele frequency 137versus 128) The following alleles of SNPs rs7208170Ars55827077C rs11871251A rs1009312G and rs2015049G werefound to be more common in the Han Chinese and Africans(37sim50) than in the European ancestry (10sim20) Inthe ITGA2B gene the rs5911 was completely linked withrs850730 and strongly linked with rs5910 in the Chinesepopulation in this study and all the three SNPswere commonin whites and Asians However the rs5911 was not found inAfricans According to the ethnicity difference described inthe preceding text resequencing of the ITGA2B and ITGB3genes in the Chinese population was believed to be veryimportant to reveal the function of SNPs

Variation in theMPV or PLT can have a profound impacton differences in the platelet function between individuals[16 17] and these traits have a strong genetic component [18ndash21] However limited information is available for Asians Inthe present study the A alleles of rs1009312 and rs2015049located in ITGB3 were positively associated with the MPV(119875 = 0029) The MPV had a trend in rs7208170 alleles butdid not reach a significant level (119875 = 0051) The differ-ence between PLT and SNPs in ITGA2B or ITGB3 was notsignificant

The APTT and PT are clinical tests commonly used toindicate coagulation factor deficiencies [22 23] activatedcoagulation and risk of venous thromboembolism [24 25]

To date two genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ofAPTT and PT conducted in the European ancestry have beenreported One study identified genome-wide significant asso-ciations of APTT and variants at F12 (MIM 610619) KNG1(MIM 612358) and HRG (MIM 142640) [26] In the otherresearch the GWAS for APTT and PT was conducted andreplicated genome-wide significant associations at KNG1HRG F11 F12 and ABO for APTT and identified significantassociations at the F7 and PROCREDEM2 regions for PTEight genetic loci accounted for sim29 of the variance inAPTT and two loci accounted for sim14 of the variance in PT[27] In this study the association of APTT PT FIB and TTwith ITGA2B and ITGB3SNPs was investigated The A alleleof ITGB3 rs70940817 was found to significantly correlate withthe elevated APTT and PT (119875 = 0003 and 119875 = 0002 resp)The T allele of ITGB3 rs112188890 was related with APTT(119875 = 0029) and the G allele of ITGB3 rs4642 was associatedwith TT and FIB (119875 = 0015 and 119875 = 0029 resp)

TheADP-induced platelet aggregation test was often usedto identify the platelet function and the efficacy of antiplateletdrugs Jones et al detected 1327 SNPs and investigated theircorrelation with ADP or collagen-related peptide-inducedplatelet aggregation in 500 healthy northern European sub-jects This identified 17 novel associations with the plateletfunction (119875 lt 0005) accounting for approximately 46 ofthe variation in response [28] In this study the minor alleleof rs56197296 and rs5919 was found to be associated with thedecreased ADP-induced platelet aggregation (119875 = 0014 and119875 = 0015 resp)

GPIIbIIIa is the central receptor of platelet aggrega-tion The variations of GPIIbIIIa amount expressed on aplatelet surface might affect the platelet-aggregating activityMany studies reported that the rs5918 correlated with theGPIIbIIIa receptor expression [29] however many conflictstudies have also been published [3 30] OrsquoHalloran et alinvestigated whether three polymorphisms of the GPIIIapromoter (minus468GA minus425AC and minus400CA) influencedthe RNA expression and receptor density in the plateletsof patients with cardiovascular disease [3] They found athreefold variation between the subjects in the number ofGPIIbIIIa receptors expressed per platelet although noassociation between the receptor density and the PlA2 orthe three promoter polymorphisms was demonstrated In thepresent study rs55827077 which was located at the promoterregion of the GPIIIs gene at position minus145 was related withGPIIbIIIa per platelet

The bleeding time is a test that evaluates the plateletfunction in vivo A prolonged bleeding time can result fromplatelet abnormality Von Willebrand factor deficiency orvascular disorders such as EhlersndashDanlos syndrome A dis-ruption of platelet aggregation results in a prolongation of thebleeding time [31] In this study the bleeding time was relatedwith rs3760364 of ITGA2B and rs7208170 rs567581451 andrs117052258 of ITGB3 (119875 lt 005) No previous study report-ing on the effect of SNPs on the bleeding time was foundThemechanism of the relationship needs to be further examinedHowever a negative trend between the bleeding time andMPV (119903 = minus0244 119875 = 0073) was observed Moreoverrs1009312 and rs2015049 were found to significantly associate

with both bleeding time and MPV Further the minor allelesof rs7208170 and rs567581451 whichwere significantly relatedwith the bleeding time had a trend with the MPV amonggenotypes although they did not reach a significant level (119875 =0051 and 119875 = 0054 resp) However no relationship wasobserved among SNPs bleeding time andMPV in rs3760364and rs117052258

In this study a positive correlation of the level of ADP-induced aggregation and GPIIbIIIa content was detectedin healthy volunteers This correlation is consistent with a

previous report Yakushkin et al investigated the relationshipbetween the number of GPIIbIIIa and the level of ADP-induced aggregation in a group of 35 healthy volunteers andfound positive and significant correlations between the levelof platelet aggregation induced by different ADP doses (from125 to 20mmolL) and the number of GPIIbIIIa [32]

A strong positive correlation was observed betweenGPIIbIIIa per platelet and PLT PT and TT (119875 lt 001)Although the TT was strongly correlated with GPIIbIIIa perplatelet (119903 = 0545 119875 lt 0001) the relationship of SNPsTT

and SNPsGP (IIbIIIa) content is not linked For exampleITGB3 rs4642 was significantly related with the TT (119875 =0015) while the value of GPIIbIIIa per platelet had no trendamong rs4642 genotypes (119875 = 0789) The other coagulationindexes were the same Therefore the relationship betweenSNPs and GPIIbIIIa content cannot be deduced from thecorrelation of coagulation indexes and SNPs

Some of the significant correlations between SNPs andplatelet function parameters in the present study were notreported previously which may be due to the reason thatSNPs with low MA(F) in the European ancestry were notselected as candidate SNPs in previous studies For examplethe GWAS-genotyping platforms lack the coverage of lowfrequencyrare variants [33] Moreover LDmight be anotherreason if different genetic patterns (haplotypes) are presentin different populations [3]

A possible limitation of the current study is the limitednumber of subjects After stratification the number of sub-jects in each genotypic group was small thereby limitingfurther haplotype association analysis and accession of smalleffects of an SNP with a small minor allele frequency

5 Conclusion

In summary as ethnicity difference might limit the interpre-tation of the function of SNPs resequencing the ITGA2B andITGB3 genes and investigating their functions in the Chinesepopulation are very important In the present study nineSNPs were found to associate with indexes of platelet andcoagulation haemostasis Newer studies are needed particu-larly to further assess the clinical importance of the above-discussed SNPs in disease susceptibility and antiplateletdrugs pharmacodynamics Further studies should pay moreattention to the roles of ITGA2B and ITGB3 SNPs in ethnicvariations

32 Linkage Disequilibrium Analysis Using the detectedpolymorphisms greater than 001 in frequency [MA(F) gt002] linkage disequilibrium (LD) was analyzed for |1198631015840|and 1199032 values (Figure 1) For ITGA2B rs5911 was completelylinked with rs850730 (1199032 = 100) and rs5910 was stronglylinked with rs850730 and rs5911 (1199032 = 095) For ITGB3 com-plete LD was observed between rs4642 and rs4634 (1199032 =100) Other LD results are shown in Figure 1 A new SNPITGB3-09 was found for which MA(F) in this study was0402

The HardyndashWeinberg equilibrium 119875 values of rs1009312and rs2015049 were lt0001 The possible reason is that thesample in this study may have a Chinese population of otherethnic groups besides the Han population Those two SNPswere not included in the LD analysis

4 Discussion

In this study 13 variants in the ITGA2B locus and 29 variantsin the ITGB3 locus in the Chinese population were observedTwo of the 29 variants located in ITGB3 were novel SNPswith MA(F) gt 002 Variants in ITGA2B and ITGB3 genesdisplayed significant interethnic differences in the globalpopulations (Table 6) The C allele frequency of SNP rs5918(TC) located in the ITGB3 gene was only inhomogeneouslydistributed at 07 in the Chinese population while it iscommon in whites and Africans (allele frequency 137versus 128) The following alleles of SNPs rs7208170Ars55827077C rs11871251A rs1009312G and rs2015049G werefound to be more common in the Han Chinese and Africans(37sim50) than in the European ancestry (10sim20) Inthe ITGA2B gene the rs5911 was completely linked withrs850730 and strongly linked with rs5910 in the Chinesepopulation in this study and all the three SNPswere commonin whites and Asians However the rs5911 was not found inAfricans According to the ethnicity difference described inthe preceding text resequencing of the ITGA2B and ITGB3genes in the Chinese population was believed to be veryimportant to reveal the function of SNPs

Variation in theMPV or PLT can have a profound impacton differences in the platelet function between individuals[16 17] and these traits have a strong genetic component [18ndash21] However limited information is available for Asians Inthe present study the A alleles of rs1009312 and rs2015049located in ITGB3 were positively associated with the MPV(119875 = 0029) The MPV had a trend in rs7208170 alleles butdid not reach a significant level (119875 = 0051) The differ-ence between PLT and SNPs in ITGA2B or ITGB3 was notsignificant

The APTT and PT are clinical tests commonly used toindicate coagulation factor deficiencies [22 23] activatedcoagulation and risk of venous thromboembolism [24 25]

To date two genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ofAPTT and PT conducted in the European ancestry have beenreported One study identified genome-wide significant asso-ciations of APTT and variants at F12 (MIM 610619) KNG1(MIM 612358) and HRG (MIM 142640) [26] In the otherresearch the GWAS for APTT and PT was conducted andreplicated genome-wide significant associations at KNG1HRG F11 F12 and ABO for APTT and identified significantassociations at the F7 and PROCREDEM2 regions for PTEight genetic loci accounted for sim29 of the variance inAPTT and two loci accounted for sim14 of the variance in PT[27] In this study the association of APTT PT FIB and TTwith ITGA2B and ITGB3SNPs was investigated The A alleleof ITGB3 rs70940817 was found to significantly correlate withthe elevated APTT and PT (119875 = 0003 and 119875 = 0002 resp)The T allele of ITGB3 rs112188890 was related with APTT(119875 = 0029) and the G allele of ITGB3 rs4642 was associatedwith TT and FIB (119875 = 0015 and 119875 = 0029 resp)

TheADP-induced platelet aggregation test was often usedto identify the platelet function and the efficacy of antiplateletdrugs Jones et al detected 1327 SNPs and investigated theircorrelation with ADP or collagen-related peptide-inducedplatelet aggregation in 500 healthy northern European sub-jects This identified 17 novel associations with the plateletfunction (119875 lt 0005) accounting for approximately 46 ofthe variation in response [28] In this study the minor alleleof rs56197296 and rs5919 was found to be associated with thedecreased ADP-induced platelet aggregation (119875 = 0014 and119875 = 0015 resp)

GPIIbIIIa is the central receptor of platelet aggrega-tion The variations of GPIIbIIIa amount expressed on aplatelet surface might affect the platelet-aggregating activityMany studies reported that the rs5918 correlated with theGPIIbIIIa receptor expression [29] however many conflictstudies have also been published [3 30] OrsquoHalloran et alinvestigated whether three polymorphisms of the GPIIIapromoter (minus468GA minus425AC and minus400CA) influencedthe RNA expression and receptor density in the plateletsof patients with cardiovascular disease [3] They found athreefold variation between the subjects in the number ofGPIIbIIIa receptors expressed per platelet although noassociation between the receptor density and the PlA2 orthe three promoter polymorphisms was demonstrated In thepresent study rs55827077 which was located at the promoterregion of the GPIIIs gene at position minus145 was related withGPIIbIIIa per platelet

The bleeding time is a test that evaluates the plateletfunction in vivo A prolonged bleeding time can result fromplatelet abnormality Von Willebrand factor deficiency orvascular disorders such as EhlersndashDanlos syndrome A dis-ruption of platelet aggregation results in a prolongation of thebleeding time [31] In this study the bleeding time was relatedwith rs3760364 of ITGA2B and rs7208170 rs567581451 andrs117052258 of ITGB3 (119875 lt 005) No previous study report-ing on the effect of SNPs on the bleeding time was foundThemechanism of the relationship needs to be further examinedHowever a negative trend between the bleeding time andMPV (119903 = minus0244 119875 = 0073) was observed Moreoverrs1009312 and rs2015049 were found to significantly associate

with both bleeding time and MPV Further the minor allelesof rs7208170 and rs567581451 whichwere significantly relatedwith the bleeding time had a trend with the MPV amonggenotypes although they did not reach a significant level (119875 =0051 and 119875 = 0054 resp) However no relationship wasobserved among SNPs bleeding time andMPV in rs3760364and rs117052258

In this study a positive correlation of the level of ADP-induced aggregation and GPIIbIIIa content was detectedin healthy volunteers This correlation is consistent with a

previous report Yakushkin et al investigated the relationshipbetween the number of GPIIbIIIa and the level of ADP-induced aggregation in a group of 35 healthy volunteers andfound positive and significant correlations between the levelof platelet aggregation induced by different ADP doses (from125 to 20mmolL) and the number of GPIIbIIIa [32]

A strong positive correlation was observed betweenGPIIbIIIa per platelet and PLT PT and TT (119875 lt 001)Although the TT was strongly correlated with GPIIbIIIa perplatelet (119903 = 0545 119875 lt 0001) the relationship of SNPsTT

and SNPsGP (IIbIIIa) content is not linked For exampleITGB3 rs4642 was significantly related with the TT (119875 =0015) while the value of GPIIbIIIa per platelet had no trendamong rs4642 genotypes (119875 = 0789) The other coagulationindexes were the same Therefore the relationship betweenSNPs and GPIIbIIIa content cannot be deduced from thecorrelation of coagulation indexes and SNPs

Some of the significant correlations between SNPs andplatelet function parameters in the present study were notreported previously which may be due to the reason thatSNPs with low MA(F) in the European ancestry were notselected as candidate SNPs in previous studies For examplethe GWAS-genotyping platforms lack the coverage of lowfrequencyrare variants [33] Moreover LDmight be anotherreason if different genetic patterns (haplotypes) are presentin different populations [3]

A possible limitation of the current study is the limitednumber of subjects After stratification the number of sub-jects in each genotypic group was small thereby limitingfurther haplotype association analysis and accession of smalleffects of an SNP with a small minor allele frequency

5 Conclusion

In summary as ethnicity difference might limit the interpre-tation of the function of SNPs resequencing the ITGA2B andITGB3 genes and investigating their functions in the Chinesepopulation are very important In the present study nineSNPs were found to associate with indexes of platelet andcoagulation haemostasis Newer studies are needed particu-larly to further assess the clinical importance of the above-discussed SNPs in disease susceptibility and antiplateletdrugs pharmacodynamics Further studies should pay moreattention to the roles of ITGA2B and ITGB3 SNPs in ethnicvariations

32 Linkage Disequilibrium Analysis Using the detectedpolymorphisms greater than 001 in frequency [MA(F) gt002] linkage disequilibrium (LD) was analyzed for |1198631015840|and 1199032 values (Figure 1) For ITGA2B rs5911 was completelylinked with rs850730 (1199032 = 100) and rs5910 was stronglylinked with rs850730 and rs5911 (1199032 = 095) For ITGB3 com-plete LD was observed between rs4642 and rs4634 (1199032 =100) Other LD results are shown in Figure 1 A new SNPITGB3-09 was found for which MA(F) in this study was0402

The HardyndashWeinberg equilibrium 119875 values of rs1009312and rs2015049 were lt0001 The possible reason is that thesample in this study may have a Chinese population of otherethnic groups besides the Han population Those two SNPswere not included in the LD analysis

4 Discussion

In this study 13 variants in the ITGA2B locus and 29 variantsin the ITGB3 locus in the Chinese population were observedTwo of the 29 variants located in ITGB3 were novel SNPswith MA(F) gt 002 Variants in ITGA2B and ITGB3 genesdisplayed significant interethnic differences in the globalpopulations (Table 6) The C allele frequency of SNP rs5918(TC) located in the ITGB3 gene was only inhomogeneouslydistributed at 07 in the Chinese population while it iscommon in whites and Africans (allele frequency 137versus 128) The following alleles of SNPs rs7208170Ars55827077C rs11871251A rs1009312G and rs2015049G werefound to be more common in the Han Chinese and Africans(37sim50) than in the European ancestry (10sim20) Inthe ITGA2B gene the rs5911 was completely linked withrs850730 and strongly linked with rs5910 in the Chinesepopulation in this study and all the three SNPswere commonin whites and Asians However the rs5911 was not found inAfricans According to the ethnicity difference described inthe preceding text resequencing of the ITGA2B and ITGB3genes in the Chinese population was believed to be veryimportant to reveal the function of SNPs

Variation in theMPV or PLT can have a profound impacton differences in the platelet function between individuals[16 17] and these traits have a strong genetic component [18ndash21] However limited information is available for Asians Inthe present study the A alleles of rs1009312 and rs2015049located in ITGB3 were positively associated with the MPV(119875 = 0029) The MPV had a trend in rs7208170 alleles butdid not reach a significant level (119875 = 0051) The differ-ence between PLT and SNPs in ITGA2B or ITGB3 was notsignificant

The APTT and PT are clinical tests commonly used toindicate coagulation factor deficiencies [22 23] activatedcoagulation and risk of venous thromboembolism [24 25]

To date two genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ofAPTT and PT conducted in the European ancestry have beenreported One study identified genome-wide significant asso-ciations of APTT and variants at F12 (MIM 610619) KNG1(MIM 612358) and HRG (MIM 142640) [26] In the otherresearch the GWAS for APTT and PT was conducted andreplicated genome-wide significant associations at KNG1HRG F11 F12 and ABO for APTT and identified significantassociations at the F7 and PROCREDEM2 regions for PTEight genetic loci accounted for sim29 of the variance inAPTT and two loci accounted for sim14 of the variance in PT[27] In this study the association of APTT PT FIB and TTwith ITGA2B and ITGB3SNPs was investigated The A alleleof ITGB3 rs70940817 was found to significantly correlate withthe elevated APTT and PT (119875 = 0003 and 119875 = 0002 resp)The T allele of ITGB3 rs112188890 was related with APTT(119875 = 0029) and the G allele of ITGB3 rs4642 was associatedwith TT and FIB (119875 = 0015 and 119875 = 0029 resp)

TheADP-induced platelet aggregation test was often usedto identify the platelet function and the efficacy of antiplateletdrugs Jones et al detected 1327 SNPs and investigated theircorrelation with ADP or collagen-related peptide-inducedplatelet aggregation in 500 healthy northern European sub-jects This identified 17 novel associations with the plateletfunction (119875 lt 0005) accounting for approximately 46 ofthe variation in response [28] In this study the minor alleleof rs56197296 and rs5919 was found to be associated with thedecreased ADP-induced platelet aggregation (119875 = 0014 and119875 = 0015 resp)

GPIIbIIIa is the central receptor of platelet aggrega-tion The variations of GPIIbIIIa amount expressed on aplatelet surface might affect the platelet-aggregating activityMany studies reported that the rs5918 correlated with theGPIIbIIIa receptor expression [29] however many conflictstudies have also been published [3 30] OrsquoHalloran et alinvestigated whether three polymorphisms of the GPIIIapromoter (minus468GA minus425AC and minus400CA) influencedthe RNA expression and receptor density in the plateletsof patients with cardiovascular disease [3] They found athreefold variation between the subjects in the number ofGPIIbIIIa receptors expressed per platelet although noassociation between the receptor density and the PlA2 orthe three promoter polymorphisms was demonstrated In thepresent study rs55827077 which was located at the promoterregion of the GPIIIs gene at position minus145 was related withGPIIbIIIa per platelet

The bleeding time is a test that evaluates the plateletfunction in vivo A prolonged bleeding time can result fromplatelet abnormality Von Willebrand factor deficiency orvascular disorders such as EhlersndashDanlos syndrome A dis-ruption of platelet aggregation results in a prolongation of thebleeding time [31] In this study the bleeding time was relatedwith rs3760364 of ITGA2B and rs7208170 rs567581451 andrs117052258 of ITGB3 (119875 lt 005) No previous study report-ing on the effect of SNPs on the bleeding time was foundThemechanism of the relationship needs to be further examinedHowever a negative trend between the bleeding time andMPV (119903 = minus0244 119875 = 0073) was observed Moreoverrs1009312 and rs2015049 were found to significantly associate

with both bleeding time and MPV Further the minor allelesof rs7208170 and rs567581451 whichwere significantly relatedwith the bleeding time had a trend with the MPV amonggenotypes although they did not reach a significant level (119875 =0051 and 119875 = 0054 resp) However no relationship wasobserved among SNPs bleeding time andMPV in rs3760364and rs117052258

In this study a positive correlation of the level of ADP-induced aggregation and GPIIbIIIa content was detectedin healthy volunteers This correlation is consistent with a

previous report Yakushkin et al investigated the relationshipbetween the number of GPIIbIIIa and the level of ADP-induced aggregation in a group of 35 healthy volunteers andfound positive and significant correlations between the levelof platelet aggregation induced by different ADP doses (from125 to 20mmolL) and the number of GPIIbIIIa [32]

A strong positive correlation was observed betweenGPIIbIIIa per platelet and PLT PT and TT (119875 lt 001)Although the TT was strongly correlated with GPIIbIIIa perplatelet (119903 = 0545 119875 lt 0001) the relationship of SNPsTT

and SNPsGP (IIbIIIa) content is not linked For exampleITGB3 rs4642 was significantly related with the TT (119875 =0015) while the value of GPIIbIIIa per platelet had no trendamong rs4642 genotypes (119875 = 0789) The other coagulationindexes were the same Therefore the relationship betweenSNPs and GPIIbIIIa content cannot be deduced from thecorrelation of coagulation indexes and SNPs

Some of the significant correlations between SNPs andplatelet function parameters in the present study were notreported previously which may be due to the reason thatSNPs with low MA(F) in the European ancestry were notselected as candidate SNPs in previous studies For examplethe GWAS-genotyping platforms lack the coverage of lowfrequencyrare variants [33] Moreover LDmight be anotherreason if different genetic patterns (haplotypes) are presentin different populations [3]

A possible limitation of the current study is the limitednumber of subjects After stratification the number of sub-jects in each genotypic group was small thereby limitingfurther haplotype association analysis and accession of smalleffects of an SNP with a small minor allele frequency

5 Conclusion

In summary as ethnicity difference might limit the interpre-tation of the function of SNPs resequencing the ITGA2B andITGB3 genes and investigating their functions in the Chinesepopulation are very important In the present study nineSNPs were found to associate with indexes of platelet andcoagulation haemostasis Newer studies are needed particu-larly to further assess the clinical importance of the above-discussed SNPs in disease susceptibility and antiplateletdrugs pharmacodynamics Further studies should pay moreattention to the roles of ITGA2B and ITGB3 SNPs in ethnicvariations

4 Discussion

In this study 13 variants in the ITGA2B locus and 29 variantsin the ITGB3 locus in the Chinese population were observedTwo of the 29 variants located in ITGB3 were novel SNPswith MA(F) gt 002 Variants in ITGA2B and ITGB3 genesdisplayed significant interethnic differences in the globalpopulations (Table 6) The C allele frequency of SNP rs5918(TC) located in the ITGB3 gene was only inhomogeneouslydistributed at 07 in the Chinese population while it iscommon in whites and Africans (allele frequency 137versus 128) The following alleles of SNPs rs7208170Ars55827077C rs11871251A rs1009312G and rs2015049G werefound to be more common in the Han Chinese and Africans(37sim50) than in the European ancestry (10sim20) Inthe ITGA2B gene the rs5911 was completely linked withrs850730 and strongly linked with rs5910 in the Chinesepopulation in this study and all the three SNPswere commonin whites and Asians However the rs5911 was not found inAfricans According to the ethnicity difference described inthe preceding text resequencing of the ITGA2B and ITGB3genes in the Chinese population was believed to be veryimportant to reveal the function of SNPs

Variation in theMPV or PLT can have a profound impacton differences in the platelet function between individuals[16 17] and these traits have a strong genetic component [18ndash21] However limited information is available for Asians Inthe present study the A alleles of rs1009312 and rs2015049located in ITGB3 were positively associated with the MPV(119875 = 0029) The MPV had a trend in rs7208170 alleles butdid not reach a significant level (119875 = 0051) The differ-ence between PLT and SNPs in ITGA2B or ITGB3 was notsignificant

The APTT and PT are clinical tests commonly used toindicate coagulation factor deficiencies [22 23] activatedcoagulation and risk of venous thromboembolism [24 25]

To date two genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ofAPTT and PT conducted in the European ancestry have beenreported One study identified genome-wide significant asso-ciations of APTT and variants at F12 (MIM 610619) KNG1(MIM 612358) and HRG (MIM 142640) [26] In the otherresearch the GWAS for APTT and PT was conducted andreplicated genome-wide significant associations at KNG1HRG F11 F12 and ABO for APTT and identified significantassociations at the F7 and PROCREDEM2 regions for PTEight genetic loci accounted for sim29 of the variance inAPTT and two loci accounted for sim14 of the variance in PT[27] In this study the association of APTT PT FIB and TTwith ITGA2B and ITGB3SNPs was investigated The A alleleof ITGB3 rs70940817 was found to significantly correlate withthe elevated APTT and PT (119875 = 0003 and 119875 = 0002 resp)The T allele of ITGB3 rs112188890 was related with APTT(119875 = 0029) and the G allele of ITGB3 rs4642 was associatedwith TT and FIB (119875 = 0015 and 119875 = 0029 resp)

TheADP-induced platelet aggregation test was often usedto identify the platelet function and the efficacy of antiplateletdrugs Jones et al detected 1327 SNPs and investigated theircorrelation with ADP or collagen-related peptide-inducedplatelet aggregation in 500 healthy northern European sub-jects This identified 17 novel associations with the plateletfunction (119875 lt 0005) accounting for approximately 46 ofthe variation in response [28] In this study the minor alleleof rs56197296 and rs5919 was found to be associated with thedecreased ADP-induced platelet aggregation (119875 = 0014 and119875 = 0015 resp)

GPIIbIIIa is the central receptor of platelet aggrega-tion The variations of GPIIbIIIa amount expressed on aplatelet surface might affect the platelet-aggregating activityMany studies reported that the rs5918 correlated with theGPIIbIIIa receptor expression [29] however many conflictstudies have also been published [3 30] OrsquoHalloran et alinvestigated whether three polymorphisms of the GPIIIapromoter (minus468GA minus425AC and minus400CA) influencedthe RNA expression and receptor density in the plateletsof patients with cardiovascular disease [3] They found athreefold variation between the subjects in the number ofGPIIbIIIa receptors expressed per platelet although noassociation between the receptor density and the PlA2 orthe three promoter polymorphisms was demonstrated In thepresent study rs55827077 which was located at the promoterregion of the GPIIIs gene at position minus145 was related withGPIIbIIIa per platelet

The bleeding time is a test that evaluates the plateletfunction in vivo A prolonged bleeding time can result fromplatelet abnormality Von Willebrand factor deficiency orvascular disorders such as EhlersndashDanlos syndrome A dis-ruption of platelet aggregation results in a prolongation of thebleeding time [31] In this study the bleeding time was relatedwith rs3760364 of ITGA2B and rs7208170 rs567581451 andrs117052258 of ITGB3 (119875 lt 005) No previous study report-ing on the effect of SNPs on the bleeding time was foundThemechanism of the relationship needs to be further examinedHowever a negative trend between the bleeding time andMPV (119903 = minus0244 119875 = 0073) was observed Moreoverrs1009312 and rs2015049 were found to significantly associate

with both bleeding time and MPV Further the minor allelesof rs7208170 and rs567581451 whichwere significantly relatedwith the bleeding time had a trend with the MPV amonggenotypes although they did not reach a significant level (119875 =0051 and 119875 = 0054 resp) However no relationship wasobserved among SNPs bleeding time andMPV in rs3760364and rs117052258

In this study a positive correlation of the level of ADP-induced aggregation and GPIIbIIIa content was detectedin healthy volunteers This correlation is consistent with a

previous report Yakushkin et al investigated the relationshipbetween the number of GPIIbIIIa and the level of ADP-induced aggregation in a group of 35 healthy volunteers andfound positive and significant correlations between the levelof platelet aggregation induced by different ADP doses (from125 to 20mmolL) and the number of GPIIbIIIa [32]

A strong positive correlation was observed betweenGPIIbIIIa per platelet and PLT PT and TT (119875 lt 001)Although the TT was strongly correlated with GPIIbIIIa perplatelet (119903 = 0545 119875 lt 0001) the relationship of SNPsTT

and SNPsGP (IIbIIIa) content is not linked For exampleITGB3 rs4642 was significantly related with the TT (119875 =0015) while the value of GPIIbIIIa per platelet had no trendamong rs4642 genotypes (119875 = 0789) The other coagulationindexes were the same Therefore the relationship betweenSNPs and GPIIbIIIa content cannot be deduced from thecorrelation of coagulation indexes and SNPs

Some of the significant correlations between SNPs andplatelet function parameters in the present study were notreported previously which may be due to the reason thatSNPs with low MA(F) in the European ancestry were notselected as candidate SNPs in previous studies For examplethe GWAS-genotyping platforms lack the coverage of lowfrequencyrare variants [33] Moreover LDmight be anotherreason if different genetic patterns (haplotypes) are presentin different populations [3]

A possible limitation of the current study is the limitednumber of subjects After stratification the number of sub-jects in each genotypic group was small thereby limitingfurther haplotype association analysis and accession of smalleffects of an SNP with a small minor allele frequency

5 Conclusion

In summary as ethnicity difference might limit the interpre-tation of the function of SNPs resequencing the ITGA2B andITGB3 genes and investigating their functions in the Chinesepopulation are very important In the present study nineSNPs were found to associate with indexes of platelet andcoagulation haemostasis Newer studies are needed particu-larly to further assess the clinical importance of the above-discussed SNPs in disease susceptibility and antiplateletdrugs pharmacodynamics Further studies should pay moreattention to the roles of ITGA2B and ITGB3 SNPs in ethnicvariations

In this study 13 variants in the ITGA2B locus and 29 variantsin the ITGB3 locus in the Chinese population were observedTwo of the 29 variants located in ITGB3 were novel SNPswith MA(F) gt 002 Variants in ITGA2B and ITGB3 genesdisplayed significant interethnic differences in the globalpopulations (Table 6) The C allele frequency of SNP rs5918(TC) located in the ITGB3 gene was only inhomogeneouslydistributed at 07 in the Chinese population while it iscommon in whites and Africans (allele frequency 137versus 128) The following alleles of SNPs rs7208170Ars55827077C rs11871251A rs1009312G and rs2015049G werefound to be more common in the Han Chinese and Africans(37sim50) than in the European ancestry (10sim20) Inthe ITGA2B gene the rs5911 was completely linked withrs850730 and strongly linked with rs5910 in the Chinesepopulation in this study and all the three SNPswere commonin whites and Asians However the rs5911 was not found inAfricans According to the ethnicity difference described inthe preceding text resequencing of the ITGA2B and ITGB3genes in the Chinese population was believed to be veryimportant to reveal the function of SNPs

Variation in theMPV or PLT can have a profound impacton differences in the platelet function between individuals[16 17] and these traits have a strong genetic component [18ndash21] However limited information is available for Asians Inthe present study the A alleles of rs1009312 and rs2015049located in ITGB3 were positively associated with the MPV(119875 = 0029) The MPV had a trend in rs7208170 alleles butdid not reach a significant level (119875 = 0051) The differ-ence between PLT and SNPs in ITGA2B or ITGB3 was notsignificant

To date two genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ofAPTT and PT conducted in the European ancestry have beenreported One study identified genome-wide significant asso-ciations of APTT and variants at F12 (MIM 610619) KNG1(MIM 612358) and HRG (MIM 142640) [26] In the otherresearch the GWAS for APTT and PT was conducted andreplicated genome-wide significant associations at KNG1HRG F11 F12 and ABO for APTT and identified significantassociations at the F7 and PROCREDEM2 regions for PTEight genetic loci accounted for sim29 of the variance inAPTT and two loci accounted for sim14 of the variance in PT[27] In this study the association of APTT PT FIB and TTwith ITGA2B and ITGB3SNPs was investigated The A alleleof ITGB3 rs70940817 was found to significantly correlate withthe elevated APTT and PT (119875 = 0003 and 119875 = 0002 resp)The T allele of ITGB3 rs112188890 was related with APTT(119875 = 0029) and the G allele of ITGB3 rs4642 was associatedwith TT and FIB (119875 = 0015 and 119875 = 0029 resp)

TheADP-induced platelet aggregation test was often usedto identify the platelet function and the efficacy of antiplateletdrugs Jones et al detected 1327 SNPs and investigated theircorrelation with ADP or collagen-related peptide-inducedplatelet aggregation in 500 healthy northern European sub-jects This identified 17 novel associations with the plateletfunction (119875 lt 0005) accounting for approximately 46 ofthe variation in response [28] In this study the minor alleleof rs56197296 and rs5919 was found to be associated with thedecreased ADP-induced platelet aggregation (119875 = 0014 and119875 = 0015 resp)

GPIIbIIIa is the central receptor of platelet aggrega-tion The variations of GPIIbIIIa amount expressed on aplatelet surface might affect the platelet-aggregating activityMany studies reported that the rs5918 correlated with theGPIIbIIIa receptor expression [29] however many conflictstudies have also been published [3 30] OrsquoHalloran et alinvestigated whether three polymorphisms of the GPIIIapromoter (minus468GA minus425AC and minus400CA) influencedthe RNA expression and receptor density in the plateletsof patients with cardiovascular disease [3] They found athreefold variation between the subjects in the number ofGPIIbIIIa receptors expressed per platelet although noassociation between the receptor density and the PlA2 orthe three promoter polymorphisms was demonstrated In thepresent study rs55827077 which was located at the promoterregion of the GPIIIs gene at position minus145 was related withGPIIbIIIa per platelet

The bleeding time is a test that evaluates the plateletfunction in vivo A prolonged bleeding time can result fromplatelet abnormality Von Willebrand factor deficiency orvascular disorders such as EhlersndashDanlos syndrome A dis-ruption of platelet aggregation results in a prolongation of thebleeding time [31] In this study the bleeding time was relatedwith rs3760364 of ITGA2B and rs7208170 rs567581451 andrs117052258 of ITGB3 (119875 lt 005) No previous study report-ing on the effect of SNPs on the bleeding time was foundThemechanism of the relationship needs to be further examinedHowever a negative trend between the bleeding time andMPV (119903 = minus0244 119875 = 0073) was observed Moreoverrs1009312 and rs2015049 were found to significantly associate

with both bleeding time and MPV Further the minor allelesof rs7208170 and rs567581451 whichwere significantly relatedwith the bleeding time had a trend with the MPV amonggenotypes although they did not reach a significant level (119875 =0051 and 119875 = 0054 resp) However no relationship wasobserved among SNPs bleeding time andMPV in rs3760364and rs117052258

In this study a positive correlation of the level of ADP-induced aggregation and GPIIbIIIa content was detectedin healthy volunteers This correlation is consistent with a

previous report Yakushkin et al investigated the relationshipbetween the number of GPIIbIIIa and the level of ADP-induced aggregation in a group of 35 healthy volunteers andfound positive and significant correlations between the levelof platelet aggregation induced by different ADP doses (from125 to 20mmolL) and the number of GPIIbIIIa [32]

A strong positive correlation was observed betweenGPIIbIIIa per platelet and PLT PT and TT (119875 lt 001)Although the TT was strongly correlated with GPIIbIIIa perplatelet (119903 = 0545 119875 lt 0001) the relationship of SNPsTT

and SNPsGP (IIbIIIa) content is not linked For exampleITGB3 rs4642 was significantly related with the TT (119875 =0015) while the value of GPIIbIIIa per platelet had no trendamong rs4642 genotypes (119875 = 0789) The other coagulationindexes were the same Therefore the relationship betweenSNPs and GPIIbIIIa content cannot be deduced from thecorrelation of coagulation indexes and SNPs

Some of the significant correlations between SNPs andplatelet function parameters in the present study were notreported previously which may be due to the reason thatSNPs with low MA(F) in the European ancestry were notselected as candidate SNPs in previous studies For examplethe GWAS-genotyping platforms lack the coverage of lowfrequencyrare variants [33] Moreover LDmight be anotherreason if different genetic patterns (haplotypes) are presentin different populations [3]

A possible limitation of the current study is the limitednumber of subjects After stratification the number of sub-jects in each genotypic group was small thereby limitingfurther haplotype association analysis and accession of smalleffects of an SNP with a small minor allele frequency

5 Conclusion

In summary as ethnicity difference might limit the interpre-tation of the function of SNPs resequencing the ITGA2B andITGB3 genes and investigating their functions in the Chinesepopulation are very important In the present study nineSNPs were found to associate with indexes of platelet andcoagulation haemostasis Newer studies are needed particu-larly to further assess the clinical importance of the above-discussed SNPs in disease susceptibility and antiplateletdrugs pharmacodynamics Further studies should pay moreattention to the roles of ITGA2B and ITGB3 SNPs in ethnicvariations

In this study a positive correlation of the level of ADP-induced aggregation and GPIIbIIIa content was detectedin healthy volunteers This correlation is consistent with a

A strong positive correlation was observed betweenGPIIbIIIa per platelet and PLT PT and TT (119875 lt 001)Although the TT was strongly correlated with GPIIbIIIa perplatelet (119903 = 0545 119875 lt 0001) the relationship of SNPsTT

Some of the significant correlations between SNPs andplatelet function parameters in the present study were notreported previously which may be due to the reason thatSNPs with low MA(F) in the European ancestry were notselected as candidate SNPs in previous studies For examplethe GWAS-genotyping platforms lack the coverage of lowfrequencyrare variants [33] Moreover LDmight be anotherreason if different genetic patterns (haplotypes) are presentin different populations [3]

A possible limitation of the current study is the limitednumber of subjects After stratification the number of sub-jects in each genotypic group was small thereby limitingfurther haplotype association analysis and accession of smalleffects of an SNP with a small minor allele frequency

5 Conclusion

In summary as ethnicity difference might limit the interpre-tation of the function of SNPs resequencing the ITGA2B andITGB3 genes and investigating their functions in the Chinesepopulation are very important In the present study nineSNPs were found to associate with indexes of platelet andcoagulation haemostasis Newer studies are needed particu-larly to further assess the clinical importance of the above-discussed SNPs in disease susceptibility and antiplateletdrugs pharmacodynamics Further studies should pay moreattention to the roles of ITGA2B and ITGB3 SNPs in ethnicvariations
