Abstract excerpt
The contribution of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein (LRP) to variance of factor VIII (FVIII) levels in plasma was investigated in thrombotic women through analysis of frequent LRP genotypes. The G allele of the LRP -25C/G polymorphism, predicting increased LRP expression, was associated with 15% and 18% mean reductions of FVIII activity and protein levels, respectively. The combination of...
