There are limited and controversial data regarding the impact of 4G/5G polymorphism of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene in the pathogenesis of premature myocardial infarction (MI). We explored whether 4G/5G polymorphism of the PAI-1 gene is associated with the development of MI

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by a complex interplay of vascular damage, inflammation, and fibrosis, affecting the skin and internal organs. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), a protein encoded by the gene, is a potential biomarker of SSc because it is primarily involved in fibrinolysis and is associated with the severity of some autoimmune diseases. This study aimed to determine the association between variant -675 4G/5G and soluble PAI-1 (sPAI-1) levels with the clinical characteristics and risk of SSc in a Mexican population.

Introduction: Pulmonary embolism (PE), the most serious presentation of venous thromboembolism (VTE), is associated with a high rate of mortality and expense. Clinical studies on pregnant women with PE are scarce. The aim of this study was to analyze the clinical impact of fibrinolytic enzyme activation inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) 4G/5G genetic polymorphisms, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) rs1801131 (A1298C) and rs1801133 (C677T) genetic polymorphisms, and establish a predictive model for pregnant women.

Objective: Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is the most important inhibitor of plasminogen activator. The functional 4G/5G polymorphism of the gene coding for PAI-1 may affect PAI-1 plasmatic activity, influencing the imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis cascades. In this study, we investigated the association between the PAI-1 4G/5G genotype and the development and residual thrombus of acute primary mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT).

Background/aim: We aimed to determine the genetic risk factors in patients aged 45 years and below with a history of early myocardial infarction (MI), compared to individuals over 60 years of age with no history of MI.
Materials And Methods: In this study, we selected different age groups to more clearly distinguish genetic differences. Accordingly, we compared individuals who had experienced MI at an early age with those who were older and had not experienced any cardiovascular events.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the link between specific gene polymorphisms (ABCB1 C3435T and PAI-1 4G/5G) and adverse reactions induced by glucocorticoids (GCs) in nephrotic syndrome (NS) patients.
- In a sample of 513 NS patients, the researchers found that ABCB1 C3435T was a risk factor for steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head (SANFH), while PAI-1 4G/5G was linked to both SANFH and steroid diabetes mellitus (S-DM).
- The study suggests that testing for these gene variants before starting GC treatment could help identify
