Abstract excerpt
We have identified a genetic polymorphism of factor VII that is strongly associated with plasma factor VII coagulant activity (factor VIIc) in healthy individuals from the United Kingdom. This polymorphism was detected after Msp I digestion of polymerase chain reaction-amplified genomic DNA. In a sample of 284 men, the frequency of the M2 allele (loss of cutting site) is 0.1, and individuals with the M1M2...
