Conclusion
The FV G1691A was found significantly more frequent in the hemophiliacs than in the general population.
In our small study group we could not demonstrate a relevant influence of the FV G1691A on bleeding tendency.
Further studies are needed to confirm whether FV G1691A plays a role on the response of FVIII replacement therapy in hemophilia A patients.
