A common factor V gene haplotype, the FVR2 haplotype (FVHR2), has been associated with a reduced cofactor activity in activated protein C-mediated activated factor VIII inactivation. Our aim was to investigate the role of FVHR2 as a possible determinant of factor VIII levels in a population study. A total of 516 individuals (401 men, 115 women; mean age 58.4 +/- 10.8 years) were enrolled within the frame of a...
