Factor IX and deep vein thrombosis

Gordon Lowe. Haematologica. 2009 May.

Abstract

Elevated levels of several coagulation factors have been found to be associated with an increased risk of thrombosis. In this perspective article, Dr. Lowe examines the implications of the report by Bezemer and coworkers in this issue for our understanding of the mechanisms involved and how they should direct future research.
