Differences in the platelet mRNA landscape portend racial disparities in platelet function and suggest novel therapeutic targets

This study identifies gene expression differences at the population level that may affect platelet function and serve as potential biomarkers to identify CVD risk. Additionally, our analysis uncovers candidate novel druggable targets for future anti-platelet therapies.PMID:34255863 | DOI:10.1002/cpt.2363
