Ischemic stroke is a heterogeneous multifactorial disease that is affected by several genetic mutations and environmental factors. Various polymorphisms and mutations have been described as risk factors for stroke and they include angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genotype, factor V Leiden, prothrombin G20210A, methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), human platelet antigen type 1, facto...

characterized by thrombus formation in the hepatic vein.1 Untreated, prognosis is generally poor. The main interventions are construction of an operative shunt and orthotopic liver transplantation.2 The prothrombin 20210 G to A mutation (G20210A) has been shown to cause spontaneous production of fibrin and an increased risk of thrombosis. This mutation may have caused cases of Budd-Chiari syndr...

Inflammatory bowel diseases are associated with increased risk for thrombotic complications, In patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) is an extremely rare complication. We report a patient with active UC and CSVT. The patient was heterozygous for Factor V Leiden and G20210A prothrombin gene mutations without other identifiable precipitating factors. This ...

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between severe novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) and hypercoagulable conditions that predispose patients thrombosis such as prothrombin gene ( F2) rs1799963 (G20210A), factor V Leiden F5) rs6025 (G1691A) PAI-1 (rs1799768). Patients: NCP-diagnosed 62 previously healthy were enrolled for investigation of thrombophilia-related polymorphisms. Ma...
