Fibrinogen genes and peripheral arterial disease S!R,—Dr Fowkes and colleagues (Mar 21, p 693) report an interesting association between fibrinogen and peripheral arterial disease. Using the Bcll restriction fragment length polymorphism on the 13-locus of the fibrinogen gene, they found a frequency of 0-097 of the rare B2 allele in controls (n= 126) and 0-197 in cases (n=121) (p
