| Abstract: | Background: Coagulation factor XIII (FXIII), after activation by thrombin cleavage in the final step of the coagulation cascade, participates in cross-linking fibrin to form a stable clot. The Leu34 form of the common FXIII V34L polymorphism (rs5985) accelerates the rate by which thrombin activates FXIII during coagulation. |
