Abstract excerpt
Elevated plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) levels are associated with venous thromboembolism, although their significance is unclear. PAI-1 levels are influenced by a PAI-1 promoter dimorphism (4G/5G), the 4G allele being associated with increased PAI-1 activity. We investigated whether the 4G allele influenced thrombotic risk by studying 99 symptomatic factor V (FV) Leiden heterozygotes and 99 healthy...
