摘要: Thrombin-activable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) is a plasma zymogen that acts as molecular link between coagulation and fibrinolysis. Numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in CPB2, the gene encoding TAFI, are located 5′-flanking region, coding sequences, 3′-untranslated region (UTR) of CPB2 mRNA transcript. Associations SNPs variation TAFI antigen concentrations described, but identity causally linked to this not known. In current study, we investigated effect on promoter activity 3′-UTR stability. Whereas (with 2 exceptions) did significant activity, either alone or haplotypic combinations seen human population, all substantially affected We speculate these SNPs, part, contribute via modulation expression through an
