Abstract excerpt
The human prothrombin G20210A polymorphism located at the 3' cleavage site of the mRNA results in elevated plasma prothrombin levels and increased risk of venous thrombosis. This polymorphism has been shown to directly influence a variety of processes related to prothrombin mRNA metabolism. We have constructed plasmids that express the full-length prothrombin mRNA that is polyadenylated at its natural site. The A...
