Coinheritance of the HR2 haplotype in the factor V gene confers an increased risk of venous thromboembolism to carriers of factor V R506Q (factor V Leiden).

چکیده
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 protein S deficiency; factor V R506Q or prothrombin G20210A). Fifty-eight percent (468/810) of the family members had an inherited defect and 10% (47/468) were symptomatic. The HR2 haplotype was found in association with factor V R506Q more frequently in family members with venous thromboembolism (18%) than in those without (8%). Double heterozygosity for factor V R506Q and HR2 conferred a 3- to 4-fold increase in the relative risk of venous thromboembolism compared with factor V R506Q alone. The median age at first event was lower when the 2 defects were associated (46 v 52 years). No increase in risk of venous thromboembolism could be demonstrated when the HR2 haplotype was associated with inherited thrombophilic defects other than factor V R506Q. Because both factor V R506Q and the HR2 haplotype are very frequent, the effect of their coinheritance on the risk of venous thromboembolism might represent a clinically relevant issue, and screening for HR2 in carriers of factor V R506Q should be considered.

The aim of this study was to examine the occurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in relation to factor V-related risk factors. Using a nested case-control design combining 2 population-based prospective studies, we measured factor V Leiden, HR2 haplotype, activated protein C (APC) resistance, and plasma factor V antigen in 335 participants who developed VTE during 8 years of follow-up and 68...
متن کاملA factor V genetic component differing from factor V R506Q contributes to the activated protein C resistance phenotype.
Factor V gene polymorphisms were investigated to detect components that may contribute to the activated protein C (APC) resistance phenotype in patients with venous thromboembolism. A specific factor V gene haplotype (HR2) was defined by six polymorphisms and its frequency was found to be similar in normal subjects coming from Italy (0.08), India (0.1), and Somalia (0.08), indicating that it wa...
