Abstract excerpt
Carriership of the factor V (FV) gene marked by the R2-haplotype, a series of linked polymorphisms encoding several amino acid changes in FV, is associated with mild resistance to activated protein C (APC) and with an increased risk of thrombosis. We compared the functional properties of normal FV(a) and R2-FV(a) in model systems and in plasma. FV and R2-FV were equally well activated by thrombin and expressed...
