What is this page?
This page lists the scientific contributions of an author, who either does not have a ResearchGate profile, or has not yet added these contributions to their profile.
It was automatically created by ResearchGate to create a record of this author's body of work. We create such pages to advance our goal of creating and maintaining the most comprehensive scientific repository possible. In doing so, we process publicly available (personal) data relating to the author as a member of the scientific community.
If you're a ResearchGate member, you can follow this page to keep up with this author's work.
If you are this author, and you don't want us to display this page anymore, please let us know.

Protein Z (PZ) is a vitamin K-dependent plasma protein that exhibits both pro- and anticoagulant properties. Both low and high PZ levels have been linked to ischaemic stroke. Although PZ-lowering gene variants have been found to be less common in ischaemic stroke, the relationship remains unclear. We investigated PZ levels and PROZ variants in a mu...
Background and aims:
Circulating lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] level relates inversely to apolipoprotein (a) [apo(a)] size. Both smaller apo(a) isoforms and higher Lp(a) levels have been linked to coronary heart disease and stroke, but their independent contributions are less well defined. We examined the role of Lp(a) in younger adults with cryptogenic...

Background
In the US, 795,000 patients are diagnosed with stroke annually. Of the 90% of strokes that are ischemic, a substantial number are of unknown etiology. In younger adults, the proportion of such cryptogenic strokes exceeds 40%. Cryptogenic stroke patients have an increased prevalence of interatrial shunts (IAS), which can be found in...

... We also investigate the function of different genes involved in the duplicated 13q22-q34 region and their possible role on both immunological functions and coagulation pathways. Some of these genes are involved in the coagulation pathway as the Z protein (PROZ) and the Growth arrest-specific gene 6 protein (GAS6) genes, known to play an important role in regulating blood coagulation and in the regulation of thrombotic responses as well as in cerebral haemorrhage, thrombosis and in the genetic susceptibility of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) [5,[10][11][12][13][14][15]. In our patient cerebral vasculitis findings associated to LAC positivity could be related also to the involvement of the TNFSF13B (named also B lymphocyte stimulator, BLyS) gene that encodes a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family and it is reported to be significantly increased in the primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS) and in LES, as confirmed by an animal model study [16][17][18][19]. ...
