Abstract excerpt
This study determines whether genetic variability in the gene-encoding factor V contributes to differences in pre-eclampsia susceptibility. Allele and genotype frequencies of three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the factor V gene leading to nonsynonymous changes (M385T in exon 8, and R485K and R506Q (Leiden mutation) in exon 10) were studied in 133 Caucasian women with pre-eclampsia and 112 healthy...
