With the aim of establishing whether the HR2 haplotype in factor V affects the risk of venous thromboembolism, a retrospective multicenter cohort study was performed in 810 family members identified through 174 probands who suffered from at least 1 episode of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism and had an inherited defect associated with thrombophilia (antithrombin, protein C, or pro...

A thrombophilia is defined as a disorder of hemostasis that predisposes a person to a thrombotic event. Data suggest that at least 50% of cases of venous thromboembolism in pregnant women are associated with an inherited or acquired thrombophilia, which can lead to an increased risk of maternal thromboembolism and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as recurrent pregnancy loss, intrauterine fetal d...
متن کاملType and location of venous thromboembolism in carriers of Factor V Leiden or prothrombin G20210A mutation versus patients with no mutation.
Factor V Leiden (FVLeiden) and prothrombin G20210A are the most common genetic causes of thrombophilia and established risk factors for different clinical manifestations of venous thromboembolism (VTE). This study investigated whether the clinical manifestation of VTE, the extension of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and the presence of transient risk factors at the time of the first VTE, differed a...
متن کاملThrombophilia and venous thromboembolism: implications for testing.
In the last decades, the knowledge on the etiology of venous thromboembolism (VTE) has increased tremendously. In approximately half of patients presenting with VTE, one or more thrombophilic defects can be identified. This has led to widespread testing for thrombophilia, despite the fact that, at present, it is unclear whether this should have therapeutic consequences. Here we review the curre...

Thrombophilia is defined as a disorder of hemostasis in which there is a tendency for the occurrence of thrombosis in veins or arteries due to abnormalities in blood composition, blood flow, or the vascular wall. The pathogenesis of venous versus arterial thrombosis is very distinct and these are often considered as separate diseases. The term thrombophilia is most often used in combination wit...
