Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Fibrinogen has a role in inflammatory processes and participates in atherosclerotic plaque formation. Despite intensive investigation, there is no clear evidence for a role of variations in the genes coding for the fibrinogen-alpha, fibrinogen-beta, and fibrinogen-gamma polypeptide chains in myocardial infarction. We examined the association of haplotypes in the 50-kb fibrinogen gene region with...
