Summary of the outcome of investigations of hemostatic polymorphisms

PolymorphismPhenotypeRelationship of Phenotype to DiseaseAssociation of Genotype With Disease
Venous thromboembolic disease  
 Factor V G1691A, Arg506Gln APCR Clearly established Clear risk factor alone or in combination with other risk factors, genetic or acquired 
 Prothrombin G20210A Altered levels, mechanism uncertain Most likely Moderate risk factor alone or in combination with other risk factors  
 Factor V HR2 haplotype Slight APCR; glycosylation isoforms altered? Suggestive Weak risk factor alone or in combination with factor V G1691A?  
 Factor XIII Val34Leu Increased activation rate Suggestive Preliminary results suggest 34Leu is protective against thrombosis  
 EPCR 23-bp repeat Predicted altered expression on cell surface Unknown Preliminary results suggest it a weak/moderate risk factor

Data on each polymorphism are summarized in terms of the nature of its phenotype, what is known of the relationship between the phenotypic change (not necessarily genetically determined) and the disease, and the direct association of the genotype to the disease.
