Abstract excerpt
Tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA), a serine protease, activates the conversion of plasminogen to the fibrinolytic protein, plasmin. The t-PA gene, mapped to chromosome 8p12-p11.2, contains 14 exons. An Alu insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in this gene has been associated with an increased risk for myocardial infarction. In the work reported here we sequenced 11 kilobases (kb) of genomic DNA from 50...
