Abstract excerpt
When activated, thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) inhibits fibrinolysis by modifying fibrin, depressing its plasminogen binding potential. Polymorphisms in the TAFI structural gene (CPB2) have been associated with variation in TAFI levels, but the potential occurrence of influential quantitative trait loci (QTLs) located elsewhere in the genome has been explored only in families ascertained in...
