Forensic Context

A study in humans characterized the platelet transcriptome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) using RNA-seq and identified the OST4 as a highly expressed, platelet-enriched marker in both ST-segment elevation MI (STEMI) and non-STEMI (NSTEMI) subtypes [Eicher et al. DOI:10.3109/09537104.2015.1083543].
