Coagulation factor Leiden mutation has been described as a common genetic risk factor for venous thrombosis; however, this mutation was reported to be practically absent in an African population. Recently, a novel non-sense mutation in the gene encoding factor V has been associated with the risk of occurrence of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases such as stroke and venous thrombosis. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the factor V Leiden (FVL) and C2491T non-sense mutations are associated with the risk of developing myocardial infarction.

The mutation FV Leiden (G1691A) is the most common mutation worldwide with a variable allelic frequency between countries. More frequent in the European and Caucasian populations and rare or absent in African native population, the FVL was studied in the Moroccan population (They-They et al. Ann Hum Biol 37(6):767-777, 2010) and is totally absent as reported previously by (Mathonnet et al.

Coagulation factor V (FV) plays an important role in maintaining the hemostatic balance in both the formation of thrombin in the procoagulant pathway as well as in the protein C anticoagulant pathway. FV deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder with variable phenotypic expression. Little is known about the molecular basis underlying this disease.
