Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reported studies have showed that Thrombin Activatable Fibrinolysis Inhibitor (TAFI) may be associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. But the relation of VT with TAFI gene SNPs could not be clearly demonstrated. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis to analyze the associations between three TAFI variants -438G/A, 505G/A and 1040C/T and the risk of venous thrombosis. METHODS: We carried...
