World distribution of factor V Leiden.

Lancet (London, England) - 28 Oct 1995

Rees D C, Cox M, Clegg J B

Abstract excerpt

We have analysed 3380 chromosomes (1690 unrelated individuals) from twenty-four populations for the presence of factor V Leiden, an important risk factor in venous thromboembolism. The allele frequency in 618 Europeans was 4.4%, with the highest prevalence among Greeks (7%). It was 0.6% in Asia Minor. Factor V Leiden was not found in any of 1600 chromosomes from Africa, Southeast Asia, Australasia, and the...
