Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Increased fibrinogen is associated with cardiovascular disease risk. It is, however, not known to what extend environmental and genetic factors and/or their interaction influence changes in total and γ' fibrinogen over time. We aimed to determine how variation within the fibrinogen gene as well as environmental factors influence the change in total and γ' fibrinogen over time, and also whether...
