Mutations within the protein Z‐dependent protease inhibitor gene are associated with venous thromboembolic disease: a new form of thrombophilia
1 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
Protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor (ZPI) is a serpin that inhibits the activated coagulation factors X and XI. The precise physiological significance of ZPI in the control of haemostasis is unknown although a deficiency of ZPI may be predicted to alter this balance. The coding region of the ZPI gene was screened for mutations using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography. 16 mutations/polymorphisms...
