Abstract excerpt
Recent findings have indicated the importance of factor V (FV) in causing resistance to activated protein C (APC) in a high proportion of patients with venous thrombosis. This prompted us to investigate whether resistance could be due to defective inactivation of FVa by APC. Consequently, we amplified a 3.2 kb fragment of the FV gene sequence encoding the heavy chain APC cleavage site. DNA analysis showed a...
