Abstract excerpt
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is the principle regulator of tissue factor induced blood coagulation. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential association of a T-287C polymorphism in the promoter of the TFPI gene, which we described previously, with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and to analyse its effect on promoter function. Low TFPI levels were shown to be associated with elevated risk of DVT...
