Abstract excerpt
The arginine/glutamine (Arg/Gln) polymorphism of the factor VII (FVII) gene is associated with variation in coagulation activity (FVII:C) and antigen concentration (FVII:Ag) of the FVII protein. We estimated frequency distributions of the Arg and Gln alleles and respective genotypes in North Karelia, and evaluated the utility of this polymorphism, serum lipids, and body mass index (BMI) in the prediction of the...
