Promoter methylation in coagulation <i>F7</i> gene influences plasma FVII concentrations and relates to coronary artery disease
7 Feb 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Plasma factor VII concentrations (FVIIa), a marker of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk, are influenced by genetic markers at the promoter site: the A2 allele, due to a 10bp insertion at position -323, is a determinant of lower FVIIa concentrations and reduced CAD risk, while the -402A allele, due to a G>A substitution, confers increased transcriptional activity in vitro resulting in higher FVIIa....
