Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Haplotypes A1 and A3 in the endothelial protein C receptor (EPCR) gene are tagged by 4678G/C and 4600A/G respectively. We assessed whether these haplotypes modify the risk of venous thromboembolism in carriers of the prothrombin 20210A allele. DESIGN AND METHODS: We genotyped 4678G/C and 4600A/G in 246 20210A carriers: 84 venous thromboembolism propositi and 162 relatives (13 symptomatic), and in 140...
