We studied the relationships among different polymorphisms of FVII gene in determining FVII levels, in a sample of 335 male and female Italian volunteers. The hypervariable region 4 (HVR4), the promoter decanucleotide insertion (-323 0/10 bp) and the R353Q polymorphisms of FVII gene were evaluate...
