Abstract excerpt
Recent studies show that in diabetic subjects an increase of plasma fibrinogen concentration is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular complications. Environmental and genetic factors contribute to the plasma fibrinogen concentration. Several studies indicate a relation between the polymorphism in the 5' region of the beta-fibrinogen gene and plasma protein concentrations and in diabetes the possible...
