Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of the THBD c.1418C>T polymorphism, which encodes for the replacement of Ala455 by Val in thrombomodulin (TM), with venous thromboembolism (VTE), plasma soluble TM, and activated protein C levels. In addition, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) isolated from 100 umbilical cords were used to analyze the relation between this polymorphism and THBD mRNA and TM...
