Abstract excerpt
Hereditary predisposition to thrombosis due to activated protein C resistance (APCR) has been attributed to a missense mutation in the factor V gene at nucleotide 1691 (G to A), causing replacement of arginine at codon 506 with glutamine. Using an RFLP-PCR assay to detect this mutation, we measured a prevalence of 3.3% in healthy Caucasians and 1.25% in healthy African-Americans. In addition, we evaluated a total...
