Abstract excerpt

Determinants of fibrinogen level among South Asians are not established. In 1997-1999, plasma fibrinogen levels and prevalences of the fibrinogen polymorphisms A alpha Thr312Ala, beta-445G/A, and B beta Arg448Lys and correlates were compared among 100 apparently healthy United Kingdom South Asians and 100 age- and sex-matched Whites. Mean fibrinogen levels were higher in South Asians (3.33 g/liter, 95% confidence...
