Abstract excerpt
Thrombotic microangiopathy (TM) is associated with abnormalities of von Willebrand factor-cleaving protease (VWCP) and other hemostatic factors. This study hypothesized that TM patients might have genetically determined thrombotic risk factors that predispose them to aberrant microvascular thrombosis. DNA samples from 30 white and 12 African American adult TM patients were analyzed for genetic alleles associated...
