Abstract excerpt
A point mutation (FV:R506Q) in the human coagulation factor V gene is associated with resistance to activated protein C and life-long increased risk of venous thrombosis. The mutation is common in populations of Caucasian origin but virtually absent among other populations. In this study of 140 healthy Swedish volunteers and 110 homozygotes for the FV:R506Q mutation, we determined the allele frequencies of the...
