Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The fibrinogen Aalpha Thr312Ala polymorphism occurs within the alphaC domain of fibrinogen, which is important for lateral aggregation and factor XIII-induced cross-linking of fibrin fibers. We have previously shown an association of Ala312 fibrinogen with poststroke mortality in subjects with atrial fibrillation and with pulmonary embolism in subjects with venous thrombosis. METHODS AND RESULTS: We...
