Abstract excerpt
The prothrombin gene mutation G20210A is a common risk factor for thrombosis and has been reported to cause APC resistance. However, the inhibition of thrombin formation by APC not only limits fibrin formation but also stimulates fibrinolysis by reducing TAFI activation. We evaluated the influence of prothrombin G20210A mutation on the anticoagulant and fibrinolytic activities of APC (1 microg/ml). Thirty-two...
