The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of selected polymorphisms in genes coding for tissue plasminogen activator (−7351 C/T polymorphism), urokinase-type plasminogen activator (1788 C/T polymorphism) and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (−675 4G/5G and −844 G/A polymorphism) on the susceptibility to AAA. Here, SERPINE1 is linked to triple-A syndrome.
