Abstract excerpt
Polymorphic differences in the 5' flanking region of the gene encoding procoagulant protein Factor VII (FVII) are associated with variations in FVII coagulant activity (FVII:C) and FVII antigen (FVII:Ag) levels. A decanucleotide insert polymorphism (CCTATATCCT) at 323 bp upstream of the start site of translation correlates with a decrease of approximately 20% FVII: C levels per allele containing this insert....
