Abstract excerpt
Activated blood coagulation factor XIII has an important role in the final stage of the clotting cascade by the covalent crosslinking of alpha- and gamma-fibrin chains. We have recently shown that a functional polymorphism in exon 2. codon 34 of the FXIII A-subunit gene is protective against myocardial infarction. To investigate the prevalence of three other common point mutations in the A-subunit gene (codon...
