متن کاملA prospective study of venous thromboembolism in relation to factor V Leiden and related factors.
The aim of this study was to examine the occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in relation to factor V-related risk factors. Using a nested case-control design combining 2 population-based prospective studies, we measured factor V Leiden, HR2 haplotype, activated protein C (APC) resistance, and plasma factor V antigen in 335 participants who developed VTE during 8 years of follow-up and 68...
متن کاملThe association of factor V Leiden with various clinical patterns of venous thromboembolism-the factor V Leiden paradox.
