Frequency of factor V Leiden (G1691A) and prothrombin (G20210A) polymorphisms in Population of Kerman Province, Iran
Background & Aims:Thromboembolism is an acute cardiovascular disease that ranges from clinically unimportant to massive embolism. Both acquired and hereditary risk factors contribute to the disease. We aimed to determine the prevalence of two hereditary predisposing factor of the disease, prothrombin G20210A and factor V Leiden (G1691A) polymorphisms, in Kerman population.<br /...
متن کاملFactor 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 کاملFrequency of Factor V Leiden and Prothrombin Polymorphism in South of Iran
Normal hemostasis requires balanced regulation of prothrombotic and antithrombotic factors. Inherited alteration of factor V and prothrombin gene, the G20210A mutation, increases the resistance of factor V to degradation and booster production of prothrombin respectively. These alterations can increase hypercoagulability leading to thrombotic consequences. We aimed to assess the frequencies of ...
متن کاملFactor V Leiden and prothrombin gene G20210A mutations are uncommon in portal vein thrombosis in India.
BACKGROUND Extra-hepatic portal vein obstruction due to portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is an important cause of portal hypertension in several regions including India. The cause of thrombosis in these patients remains unclear. We studied the frequency of mutations in genes for coagulation factors V and II (prothrombin) in 61 Indian patients with PVT and 49 healthy control subjects. METHODS The ...
متن کاملFactor V Leiden, prothrombin G20210A and MTHFR C677T mutations in Romanian patients with deep venous thrombosis
Introduction Deep venous thrombosis (DVT), with an incidence of about 1 case/year/1000 adults, is a multifactorial disease, result of the interaction between genetic and acquired risk factors. Although considered idiopathic in majority of the cases, an underlying cause could be detected in up to 80% of the patients with DVT, as shown in the literature (Whitlatch 2008). Genetic factors contribut...
