Factor V Leiden, MTHFR C677T and Prothrombin Gene Mutation G20210A in Iranian Patients with Venous Thrombosis
Background: Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin gene (G20210A) and MTHFR (C677T) polymorphism are the main biomarkers for evaluation of tendency for venous thromboembolism. We aimed to investigate the frequency of mutations in factor V Leiden, Prothrombin G20210A and MTHFR C677T and identify the genetic status for these mutations in patients with venous thrombosis. Methods: This study was carried out...
متن کاملProthrombin gene mutation (G20210A) in healthy Centenarians.
A recently described genetic variant of the prothrombin gene (G to A transition at nucleotide position 20210) is associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis (1). The 20210A prothrombin allele may precipitate cerebral ischemia or myocardial infarction in young patients with known prothrombotic abnormalities (2, 3). Similarly, it has been demonstrated that factor V Leiden further incre...
متن کاملMutation in the Prothrombin Gene G20210A as a Cause of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis
Introduction. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare form of cerebrovascular disease, which may manifest clinically by a wide variety of signs and symptoms. It has been associated with multiple risk factors including genetic or acquired blood disorders, infections, and trauma. Case Report. Man of 17 years who presented with 10 days of intense global headache with nausea and vomiting ...
متن کاملThe impact of prothrombin (G20210A) gene mutation on stroke in youths
BACKGROUND Stroke in young adults is a known but abnormal disease. Several recent studies have discussed the correlation between existence of coagulation factors such as V Leiden and prothrombin mutation (G20210A) as risk factors for incidence of stroke. The present study investigated the frequency of prothrombin gene mutation and its impact on incidence of ischemic stroke in Iranian youth. M...
متن کاملCerebral Venous Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism with Prothrombin G20210A Gene Mutation.
A 25-year-old man presented with symptoms of syncope, cough, headache and hemoptysis. Cranial MR and venography showed thrombus formation in the right transverse sinus and superior sagittal sinus. Computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) showed an embolic thrombus in the right pulmonary truncus and lung abscess. The patient was young, and there were no signs of lower extremity deep ven...
