Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Elevated fibrinogen levels have been linked to increased risk for deep venous thrombosis, although it is not clear whether fibrinogen is causal or rather a marker for the presence of other risk factors. A common G/A polymorphism in the gene for the fibrinogen beta-chain (FGB G-455A) is associated with elevated fibrinogen levels. The present study was designed to analyze the role of this genetic marker...
