A4070G (His 1299 Arg) polymorphism in exon 13 of factor V gene can influence factor V levels and contribute to the activated protein C resistance. We are presenting our data concerning Turkish population and postulate that homozygosity for the HR2 haplotype may be an important risk factor for thrombosis.

Keywords: Haplotype, HR2, Polymorphism, A4070G, Thromboembolism.

HR2 haplotipinde bulunan A4070G (His 1299 Arg) polimorfizmi faktör V geninde yer alır ve plazma faktör V düzeylerini etkileyerek aktif protein C direncine yol açabilir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye verisi sunulmakta ve HR2 haplotipinde homozigotluğun tromboz için risk faktörü olabileceği hipotezi sunulmaktadır.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Haplotip, HR2, Polimorfizm, A4070G, Tromboembolizm.
