“…The lack of effect of the 4G/5G genotype contrasts a previously published study by Grancha et al 42 In that study, the authors reported a significantly greater decrease in PAI-1 antigen in response to transdermal estrogen in women with coronary artery disease (CAD) who were either homozygous or heterozygous for the PAI-1 4G allele compared with those who were homozygous for the 5G allele. Estrogen significantly reduced PAI-1 in this study, even though it was administered transdermally, in contrast to several other studies.…”

“…Elevated levels of PAI-1 have been associated with increased cardiovascular risk and increased thrombogenic tendency [25][26][27]. The higher prevalence of homozygosity 4G/4G and heterozygosity 4G/5G population and its association with higher PAI-1 levels may further increase the cardiovascular risks in this population of young women, as it has been reported in patients who suffer from coronary heart disease [11], venous thromboembolism [27] or type 2 diabetes mellitus [28,29].…”

“…It is known that an increased PAI-1 concentration induces decreased plasmin formation and leads to an accumulation of fibrin. The 4G allele and the 4G/4G genotype of PAI-1 have been reported to be associated with increased basal gene transcription, and consequently have been regarded as thrombogenic factors (21,24,26,27). With this kept in mind, our results are suggestive of some other role of PAI-1 in the process of rebleeding, except the effect on fibrinolytic activity.…”

“…Therefore, the 4G allele of the PAI-1 gene is associated with increased basal gene transcription. The 4G/4G genotype of PAI-1 has been shown to be associated with ischemic heart disease (24,26) and myocardial infarction (MI) (21,27).…”
