[Coagulation factor mutations and thrombosis].

Abstract excerpt

The coagulation system is governed by a subtle balance between clotting activators and inhibitors. Many genes can contribute to the overall phenotype, and polymorphisms may act to up regulate or down regulate the generation of thrombin, the coagulation-key enzyme. An increase in coagulation factor (gain function) or/and a decrease in coagulation inhibitors (loss of function) may favor venous thromboembolism...
