Abstract excerpt
An insertion/deletion (4G/5G) polymorphism in what has been shown to be an enhancer/repressor binding site in the promoter region of the PAI-1 gene has been related to plasma PAI-1 activity. Transfection studies demonstrated increased interleukin-1 stimulated PAI-1 synthesis in cells containing t...
