    (2010) Bekçi, Taha T.; Koçak, Nadir; Özen, Filiz; Teke, Turgut
    Aim. We aimed to investigate whether this polymorphism has any effects on the development of the differences in the progression of the OSAS patients. Methods. The patient group was selected from patients admitted to the our Sleep Laboratory. Total 122 subjects, 44 OSAS patients (only), 32 OSAS patients with cardio vascular diseases (CVD) and 46 controls, were enrolled in the study. The control group consisted of healthy volunteers who had no symptoms of OSAS and scored 0 on the Epworth sleepiness scale. In order to determine gene mutations, DNA isolation was performed from peripheral blood samples. Results. While mean weight and BMI were significantly different, no significant differences were found between patient and control groups in terms of FV Leiden allele distributions. Conclusion. FV Leiden mutation does not affect progression in patients with OSAS.
