Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Normal protein C (PC) plasma levels range widely in the general population. Factors influencing normal PC levels are thought to influence the risk of venous thrombosis. Little is known about the underlying genetic variants. OBJECTIVES: We performed a genome scan of normal PC levels to identify genes that regulate normal PC levels. PATIENTS/METHODS: We performed a variance components linkage analysis...
