This report describes the identification and characterization of a new Cromer high incidence antigen, named... SERF. Sequence analyses of DNA from a Thai female whose serum contained the alloantibody to a high incidence antigen in the Cromer blood group system (anti-SERF) and from her two children were performed.

The results revealed that factor...Factor V Leiden was recently found to be the most common cause of familial venous thrombosis in the European population. We have studied the prevalence of factor V Leiden by DNA analysis among 500 Thai blood donors (male 285, female 215).
