• Multiple Novel Loci, Including Those Related to Crohn's Disease, Psoriasis and Inflammation, Identified in a Genome-Wide Association Study of Fibrinogen in 17,686 Women: the Women's Genome Health Study - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 20031577

  ABSTRACT: Background Fibrinogen is a multifunctional circulating glycoprotein involved in wound-healing, thrombosis, platelet aggregation and inflammation, and elevated levels predict vascular disease. Despite evidence of such crucial biological functions and moderate heritability, comprehensive analysis of the influence of genetic variation on fibrinogen is not available. Methods and Results To address this issue, we undertook a genome-wide association study evaluating the potential relationships between 337,343 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and plasma fibrinogen levels among 17,686 apparently healthy women participating in the Women's Genome Health Study (WGHS). As C-reactive protein is also an inflammatory marker known to predict cardiovascular diseases, we compared the deter
