Abstract excerpt
Thrombomodulin is an endothelial cell surface receptor that transforms the procoagulant thrombin into an anticoagulant. A mutation in the thrombomodulin gene is a potential risk factor for venous and arterial thrombosis. We screened a region within the coding sequence of the thrombomodulin gene by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis (SSCP) in a pilot study of 104 patients with myocardial infarction...
