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 کاملRecurrent Pregnancy Loss in a Subject with Heterozygote Factor V Leiden Mutation; a Case Report
Recurrent pregnancy loss is usually defined as the loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation, which occurs in approximately 5% of reproductive-aged women. It has been suggested that women with thrombophilia have an increased risk of pregnancy loss and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Thrombophilia is an important predisposition to blood clot formation and is cons...
متن کاملDetermination of Serum C, S Proteins and Factor V Leiden among Patients with Sickle Cell Disorder at Khuzestan Province, Iran
Background: Sickle cell disease occurs due to a mutation in β chains and the substitution of valine instead of glutamate in the sixth position of the ß-chain that causes polymerization and vascular blockage. The aim of this study was to compare the serum C, S proteins and factor V Leiden between sickle cell patients and the control group. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, perf...
متن کاملFactor V Leiden mutation in pregnancy.
Normal maternal adaptation to pregnancy significantly increases the risk for thrombus formation. Inherited thrombophilias further increase risk for deep venous thrombosis and adverse outcome in pregnancy. Factor V Leiden mutation is the most common inherited thrombophilia, occurring in approximately 5% of the White and 1% of the Black populations. Nurses should be knowledgeable about screening ...
