Abstract excerpt
Inter-ethnic variation in fibrinogen levels is hypothesized to be the result of differences in genetic background. No information is available regarding the contribution of genetics to fibrinogen γ' in Africans. Only limited information is available regarding the interaction between genotypes and total and γ' fibrinogen concentration in determining fibrin clot properties. Our aim was to investigate the effect of...
