This was not entirely consistent with the results of a previous study on children in which all MV types were found to be increased, including annexin V+CD31+/CD42b−EMVs, annexin V+ CD62E+/CD42b−EMVs, annexin V+CD41a+PMVs, annexin V+CD11b+LMVs, and annexin V+CD45+LMVs, which were elevated in patients with OSA (Kim et al., 2011). The gene discussed is ITGAM; the disease is obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
