Abstract
To understand the allele frequency of the G1691A mutation of the coagu lation factor V gene (factor V Leiden) in Chinese, 618 Chinese individ uals, including 54 cases with venous thrombosis, were analyzed. Only o ne case in the control group was heterozygous for the 1691G allele and the 1691A allele. Our data suggest that the factor V Leiden is rare i n Chinese.
