Abstract excerpt
Genetic and acquired factors may influence phenotypic expression of inherited thrombophilia. Hypofibrinolysis due to excess PAI-1 can be found in patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and 4G/5G polymorphism of the PAI-1 gene may modulate the inhibitor's synthesis. In 149 patients with inherited thrombophilia, the possible thrombotic contribution of both 4G/5G polymorphism and PAI-1 plasma levels was evaluated....
