Abstract excerpt
A single factor V gene G-A mutation (Arg506Gln) underlying activated protein C (APC) resistance is a common risk factor for venous thromboembolism. It is still unclear whether the factor V Leiden predisposes patients to arterial thrombosis and myocardial infarction (MI). To determine a correlatio...
