Abstract excerpt
Plasminogen activator Inhibitor 1 (PAI-1) inhibits plasminogen activators leading to decreased fibrinolysis and increased risk of thromboembolic disease (TED). Shifts in PAI-1 promoter genome from normal 5G>5G to 4G>5G or 4G>4G alleles are associated with overexpression of PAI-1. In this study pa...
