Abstract excerpt
The common genetic G to A variation of the prothrombin gene is associated with elevated levels of prothrombin [factor II (FII)] and is recognized as a risk factor for thrombosis. To determine whether one type of assay for plasma FII measurement was more efficient than other assays in displaying high FII levels in 20210A carriers, we compared five methods of measuring FII levels [i.e. an enzyme-linked...
