Abstract excerpt
The G20210A polymorphism has been shown to alter the efficiency of prothrombin mRNA processing. Here we show that the G20210A mutation also alters prothrombin mRNA stability. Three-fold more prothrombin protein and mRNA were produced in NIH-3T3 cells transfected with the prothrombin cDNAs containing the 20210A variant compared to cells expressing the 20210G variant. mRNA stability assays using chimeric globin...
