Factor VII gene polymorphisms may contribute to elevations in factor VII coagulant (FVIIc) levels that have been associated with cardiovascular risk. We therefore studied the association of two polymorphisms--R353Q polymorphism at codon 353 involving the catalytic region and the 10 base pair (bp) insertion polymorphism involving the promoter region--with FVllc levels in 176 healthy Tunisians. The variant Q allele...
