Özet

Background: Tissue-plasminogen activator is a key protein of fibrinolytic system. In recent years the relation between t-PA, its genetic polymorphisms and arterial or venous thrombosis were investigated in different populations. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of t-PA gene polymorphism in Turkish venous thromboembolism (VTE) patients.
