Abstract excerpt
Factor XIII a subunit (F13A) is the last enzyme in the blood coagulation cascade. It is characterized by extensive genetic polymorphism defined by 4 common alleles, F13A*1A, 1B, 2A and 2B and a few rare variants, some responsible for severe coagulation deficiencies. In order to infer the evolutionary affinities between the common F13A alleles we have applied PCR techniques to study, in a Northern Portuguese...
