F5 and abdominal aortic aneurysm: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of selected polymorphisms in genes coding for coagulation factor V (1691 G/A, the so-called Leiden mutation), factor VII (−323 0/10 bp insertion/deletion) and fibrinogen β chain (−455 G/A) on the risk of abdominal aortic aneurysm, a particular form of atherothrombosis.
