Key result
P2Y12 deficiency in mice significantly delayed the appearance of the first thrombus (P=0.0063) and increased the time to arterial occlusion (P<0.0001), demonstrating its critical role in thrombus stability.
Why the study?
Does the complete absence of the P2Y12 receptor prevent occlusive thrombus formation in injured arteries in mice?
Does the complete absence of the P2Y12 receptor prevent occlusive thrombus formation in injured arteries in mice?
p-value: p=0.0063
Complete absence of P2Y12 in mice impairs platelet adhesion, activation, and thrombus stability, preventing occlusive thrombosis even without aspirin.

Complete P2Y12 absence may impair thrombus stability beyond partial blockade; leaves open clinical translation from murine models.
André et al. (2003) studied Arterial thrombosis. P2Y12 gene knockout vs. Wild-type (WT) mice was evaluated on Time for appearance of first thrombus greater than 20 μm (p=0.0063). P2Y12 deficiency in mice significantly delayed the appearance of the first thrombus (P=0.0063) and increased the time to arterial occlusion (P<0.0001), demonstrating its critical role in thrombus stability.
