Abstract excerpt
Factor XII (FXII) plays a key role in both coagulation and fibrinolysis, thus its role in thrombotic processes is uncertain. Both genetic and environmental factors determine FXII plasma levels. A common C46T polymorphism in the Kozak region of F12 gene disturbs the translation of the protein leading to a significant reduction of FXII levels although its clinical significance is conflictive. We studied the F12...
