Abstract excerpt
Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) plays an inhibitory role in the fibrinolytic enzyme system and is associated with thrombotic diseases. The gene for PAI-1 has an insertion/deletion polymorphism at the promoter region, the 4G/5G polymorphism, which is related to differences in transcription activity in vitro. Association of the 4G/5G polymorphism with plasma PAI-1 levels, however, has not been uniformly...
