Abstract excerpt
We explored the associations between G-->A mutations of factor V and factor VII genes and the Hae III polymorphism of the fibrinogen gene and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), as assessed angiographically in 545 white Australian patients (388 male and 157 female) aged < or = 65 years. We also assessed the relations with other potentially atherogenic variables. Elevated fibrinogen levels were...
