Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The single nucleotide Marburg I (MRI) polymorphism of the factor VII-activating protease (FSAP) gene, the prourokinase-activating activity of FSAP, and antigen levels of FSAP in plasma have been associated with incidence and progression of carotid stenosis and venous thromboembolism. However, more information on the extent of these associations, potential further ones, and respective clinical...
