The 536C→T Transition in the Human Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI) Gene Is Statistically Associated with a Higher Risk for Venous Thrombosis
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is an important regulator in the extrinsic blood coagulation pathway. Although the regulatory biochemical role of TFPI is evident, the clinical significance of this proteinase inhibitor remains to be elucidated. The definition of a clinical TFPI deficiency seems to be more complex than that of other coagulation inhibitors because the activity and concentration of circulating...
