which, after being activated by thrombin and Ca2+, plays an important role in the final stages
of blood coagulation and in the regulation of fibrinolysis. Plasma FXIII consists of two A
subunits and two B subunits (carrier molecule), encoded by genes located on chromosomes
6p25-p24 and 1q31-q32. 1, respectively. Activated FXIII cross-links covalently adjacent fibrin
monomers and stabilizes the structure of blood clot [2]. Genetic variation in the sequence of …
