Abstract:Genetic variation in the F7 gene has been shown in several studies to influence quantitative variation in Factor VII antigenic levels. Previously in the GAIT Study, we comprehensively resequenced the F7 gene and obtained strong evidence of multiple functional variants. Two independent sets of highly correlated promoter polymorphisms appeared to contain at least two of these functional variants. However, the high degree of linkage disequilibrium within these two clusters precluded statistical identification of … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
