Elevated factor VII levels have been associated with increased cardiovascular risk in some studies. The arginine/glutamine (Arg/Gln) polymorphism of the factor VII gene has been previously shown to modify factor VII levels. However, the presence of a gene/environment interaction on factor VII levels or a link with cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains uncertain, We studied subjects from the Framingham Heart Study to determine (1) the extent to which this genetic polymorphism affects factor VII levels; (2) whether interactions exist between this polymorphism and environmental factors on factor VII levels; and (3) the association between the polymorphism and CVD, Genotype data and factor VII antigen levels were available in 1816 subjects. Factor VII levels differed significantly among genotypes in an additive fashion: Gin homozygous, 82.7+/-2.5%; heterozygous, 92.2+/-0.7%; and Arg homozygous, 100.5+/-0.4% (P
