Thrombomodulin gene polymorphisms in brain infarction and mortality after stroke.
J Neurol. 2008; (4): 514-9
Thrombomodulin is expressed at the surface of endothelial cells and controls thrombin generation and thrombin-induced platelets and vascular cell activation. Several thrombomodulin gene polymorphisms have been associated with coronary events and brain infarction. In a previous analysis from the Etude du Profil Génétique de l'Infarctus Cérébral (GENIC) study, we found that soluble thrombomodulin (sTM) concentration modulated the risk of and prognosis for brain infarction.
