Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms within the tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) gene may determine TFPI expression and increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in predisposed individuals. We tested this hypothesis by comparing TFPI activity and the frequency of common TFPI polymorphisms, -33T->C, -399C->T and -287T->C, in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) (n = 24) or factor V Leiden (n = 44) who had a...
