The contribution of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein (LRP) to variance of factor VIII (FVIII) levels in plasma was investigated in thrombotic women through analysis of frequent LRP genotypes. The G allele of the LRP -25C/G polymorphism, predicting increased LRP expression, was associated with 15% and 18% mean reductions of FVIII activity and protein levels, respectively. The combination of -25C/G LRP polymorphism with FVIII D1241E and ABO polymorphisms produced a gradient of FVIII levels, thus supporting the notion that several factors, acting in FVIII biosynthesis, post-translational modification and removal from circulation, have additive effects on the variance of FVIII levels in plasma.

Abstract

The contribution of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-related protein (LRP) to variance of factor VIII (FVIII) levels in plasma was investigated in thrombotic women through analysis of frequent LRP genotypes. The G allele of the LRP -25C/G polymorphism, predicting increased LRP expression, was associated with 15% and 18% mean reductions of FVIII activity and protein levels, respectively. The combination of -25C/G LRP polymorphism with FVIII D1241E and ABO polymorphisms produced a gradient of FVIII levels, thus supporting the notion that several factors, acting in FVIII biosynthesis, post-translational modification and removal from circulation, have additive effects on the variance of FVIII levels in plasma.
