Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Epidemiological studies generally have not found plasma total fibrinogen to be a risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE), but several have reported associations between variants in the fibrinogen gamma gene (FGG) and VTE. A case-control study in whites suggested plasma γ' fibrinogen concentration may be associated inversely with VTE, but this was not replicated in African Americans. OBJECTIVE:...
