Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: As thrombosis is an essential factor in the pathogenesis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the genes of proteins affecting haemostasis are good candidate genes for AMI. DESIGN: Associations of the known polymorphisms of the coagulation factor VII (FVII) gene (R353Q), the coagulation factor XIII (FXIII) gene (V34L) and the glycoprotein Ia (Gp1a) gene (C807T) with the occurrence of AMI were studied...
