Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine the increased risk of thrombosis in thrombophilia patients is not only ascribable to an increased thrombin generation, but also high levels of proCPU and the presence of the 325Ile genotype tip the balance towards thrombotic tendency even further Homo sapiens

Protein Variants Comment Organism
I325I a higher frequency of the most stable Ile325Ile proCPU is seen among carriers of FII G20210A mutation compared to the control group in comparison to Thr325Thr and Thr325Ile proCPU. In addition, proCPU as a risk factor for thrombosis is evaluated. In heterozygous carriers of FV Leiden or FII G20210A high levels of proCPU confers to an almost 4fold increased risk for spontaneous onset thrombosis. The more stable Ile325Ile proCPU seems to impose a higher risk for clinical manifestation of the thrombophilic condition Homo sapiens
additional information proCPU levels in thrombophilia carriers and healthy subjects are assessed: Results show that patients with inherited thrombophilia have a tendency toward lower mean proCPU plasma levels compared to healthy controls. This difference is only significant in carriers of factor II G20210A Homo sapiens
