Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine the absolute risk of venous and arterial thromboembolism in subjects with high TAFI levels versus subjects with normal levels, and the contribution of other concomitant thrombophilic defects is assessed. Relatives from four identical cohort studies in families with either deficiencies of antithrombin, protein C or protein S, prothrombin 20210A, high factor VIII levels, or hyperhomocysteinemia are pooled. Only high factor VIII levels are associated with an increased risk of venous and arterial thrombosis, independently of TAFI levels. None of these concomitant defects shows interaction with high TAFI levels. High TAFI levels are not associated with an increased risk of venous and arterial thromboembolism in thrombophilic families Homo sapiens
