P2RY12 and peripheral arterial disease: The aims of this study were to investigate (1) if P2Y12 polymorphisms defining the P2Y12 H2 allele are associated with any other SNPs that may explain the previously reported association with increased ADP induced platelet activation and association with peripheral arterial disease and coronary artery disease and (2) if such variants are associated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or classical risk factors for AMI.
