Fibrinogen and plasma clot properties are associated with apolipoprotein B and apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins in Africans
These findings suggest that ApoB and the lipoproteins carrying it contribute to prothrombotic clot properties in Africans on an epidemiological level and highlight potential novel prothrombotic roles for these (apo)lipoproteins to be considered for the development of targeted therapeutic approaches to address thrombotic conditions related to clot properties.
