Abstract excerpt
High fibrinogen is recognised as a risk factor for atherosclerosis. It seems that high fibrinogen is also a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). It has been shown that certain polymorphisms in fibrinogen genes can influence the fibrinogen level. In this study, fibrinogen levels and the frequency of the polymorphisms TaqI, HaeIII and BclI were studied in 114 patients with DVT and 244 healthy subjects. In...
