The CPB2 gene encodes thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI), a hepatically secreted zymogen acting as a molecular link among coagulation, fibrinolysis, and inflammation. Variants in CPB2 have been associated with several human conditions. We resequenced and analyzed the two regions c...
