MTHFR, prothrombin and Factor V gene variants in Turkish patients with coronary artery stenosis

چکیده
Many epidemiological studies have reported an association between hemostatic factors and risk of both coronary and peripheral artery diseases. Using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis, we investigated the association between coronary artery disease and polymorphisms in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR C677T and A1298C), prothrombin (G20210A), and factor V (A4070G) genes. We screened these gene variants in 174 subjects who had undergone coronary angiography 115 patients with patent coronary artery disease (grade 3 vessel disease, i.e., significant coronary stenosis), and 59 healthy controls with grade 0 vessel disease. The analysis of our data did not show any statistically significant association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and the investigated polymorphisms.

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...

Background: Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is defined as two or more consecutive pregnancy losses before 20 weeks of gestation as an important clinical problem, with an incidence of 1-3% among couples wishing to have children. There are several factors in the etiology of recurrent miscarriage. One of the main genetic causes which involve in the pathogenesis of RM is balanced chromosomal rearrangeme...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Numerous studies have identified hyperhomocysteinemia as an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Furthermore, influences of polymorphysim of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) on homocysteine levels are documented. However, the relationship between severity of CAD and polymorphism of MTHFR has not been systematically evaluated. The present s...
