Abstract excerpt
Thrombomodulin is expressed on endothelial cells and monocytes (mTM) where it has an anticoagulant function. Enzymatic cleavage from the cell surface produces soluble thrombomodulin (sTM) in plasma. Abnormal levels of sTM and mutations in the thrombomodulin gene (THBD) are linked to cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate THBD proximal promoter mutations and levels of sTM and mTM in men...
