Abstract
Factor V Leiden mutation (FVL; G1691A) was reported in high percentages of white-skin Caucasians but was almost absent in non-white populations like Africans and Asians. In addition, studies found FVL in high percentage of Arabs, who consist of both white and non-white populations, but none of these studies sight saw the skin color of their positive cases. This study was an expansion of a previous study to determine FVL in Arabs living in Kuwait in regards to skin color, and to determine if it is present in white-skin Arabs only or in all Arabs.
