Genetic Predictors of Fibrin D-Dimer Levels in Healthy Adults
19 Apr 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Fibrin fragment D-dimer, one of several peptides produced when crosslinked fibrin is degraded by plasmin, is the most widely used clinical marker of activated blood coagulation. To identity genetic loci influencing D-dimer levels, we performed the first large-scale, genome-wide association search. METHODS AND RESULTS: A genome-wide investigation of the genomic correlates of plasma D-dimer levels was...
