Abstract excerpt
Congenital resistance to activated protein C due to a point mutation in the factor V gene (Gln506-FV) is the most common genetic risk factor for familial venous thrombosis. Considering the central role of activated protein C as a physiological anticoagulant, the question of why the thrombotic risk associated with Gln506-FV was not more pronounced was asked. We hypothesized that in Gln506-FV heterozygotes,...
