Mutation in the promoter region of the beta-fibrinogen gene and the risk of future myocardial infarction, stroke and venous thrombosis.

European heart journal - 1 Dec 2001

Blake G J, Schmitz C, Lindpaintner K, Ridker P M

Abstract excerpt

AIM: Polymorphisms in the promoter region of the beta-fibrinogen gene are associated with increased plasma fibrinogen levels. We investigated whether the distribution of the C148T polymorphism is associated with an increase in cardiovascular risk. METHODS AND RESULTS: In a nested case-control design, the distribution of the C148T polymorphism was investigated among 751 participants in the Physicians' Health Study...
