Abstract excerpt
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is the primary physiological inhibitor of tissue factor (TF) induced coagulation. Low plasma TFPI levels have been shown to be associated with increased risk of arterial and venous thrombosis. Several clinical studies have reported that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the regulatory regions of the gene, such as the -287T/C, the -399C/T, and the -33T/C SNPs, may...
