متن کاملRisk of stroke in young women and two prothrombotic mutations: factor V Leiden and prothrombin gene variant (G20210A)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Factor V Leiden and a prothrombin gene variant, G20210A, are mutations associated with a thrombotic risk. The aim of our study was to assess whether these mutations increase the risk of stroke in women under 45 years of age. METHODS We conducted a case-control study in western Washington state. Case patients were women aged 18 to 44 years with a first stroke (n = 106). ...
