Abstract excerpt
Coagulation factor XI (FXI) is essential for normal function of the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. A nucleotide variant (rs3756008) in the promoter region of the FXI gene was recently reported for association with venous thromboembolism. This study aimed to examine promoter activity of the rs3756008 or other variants linked with it. Luciferase assay was analyzed with minigenes including haplotypes (AA...
