Abstract excerpt
Thrombin-Activatable Fibrinolysis Inhibitor (TAFI) is a protein that potently attenuates fibrinolysis. A considerable proportion of its variability levels is genetically determined. It has been associated with arterial and venous thrombosis. We conducted a Genome Wide Scan for genes affecting variation in plasma TAFI levels in 398 subjects from 21 extended Spanish families. The data were analyzed by a...
