Candidate gene analysis of the fibrinogen phenotype reveals the importance of polygenic co-regulation
(Elsevier, 2017)Fibrinogen and its functional aspects have been linked to cardiovascular disease. There is vast discrepancy between the heritability of fibrinogen concentrations observed in twin studies and the heritability uncovered by ... -
Depression symptoms facilitated fibrinolytic dysregulation and future coronary artery disease risk in a black male cohort: the sympathetic activity and ambulatory blood pressure in Africans study
(Wolters Kluwer, 2017)Background: Hypercoagulation is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Whether depression symptoms dysregulate inflammatory and hemostatic markers in an African cohort is not known; therefore, we assessed the ... -
Fibrinogen and fibrin: an illustrated review
(Wiley, 2019)Since its discovery over 350 years ago, studies of fibrinogen have revealed remarkable characteristics. Its complex structure as a large (340 kDa) hexameric homodimer supports complex roles in hemostasis and homeostasis. ... -
Leukocyte telomere length and hemostatic factors in a South African cohort: the SABPA study
(Wiley, 2014)Background Incident atherothrombotic disease is predicted by leukocyte telomere length, a marker of biological age, and hemostatic factor levels, indicating a hypercoagulable state. We hypothesized that shorter telomeres ...
