Coexistence of factor V 1691 G-A and factor V 4070 A-G mutation in Turkish thromboembolic patients

Factor V 1691 G-A mutation distribution in a healthy Turkish population.

The aim of this review was to compile published data on factor V 1691 G-A alteration in a healthy Turkish population and also to stimulate the reporting of unpublished data, in order to create a map for factor V Leiden (FVL) in Turkey. From a total of 4276 healthy individuals from 26 different centers of Turkey, 345 FVL carriers (7.9%) were determined. FVL was strikingly high among newborns fro...

FACTOR V AND VIII INHIBITOR IN PATIENTS WITH COMBINED FACTOR V AND VIII DEFICIENCY

Patients with coagulation factor(s) deficiency who use coagulation therapy are susceptible to forming inhibitors against coagulation factor(s). In this survey we detected factor V and VIII inhibitor in ten patients with combined deficiency of factors V and VIII from north east of Iran (Khorassan province). It was revealed in our survey that eight patients had both factor V and factor VIII i...

Recurrent Pregnancy Loss in a Subject with Heterozygote Factor V Leiden Mutation; a Case Report

Recurrent pregnancy loss is usually defined as the loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies before 20 weeks of gestation, which occurs in approximately 5% of reproductive-aged women. It has been suggested that women with thrombophilia have an increased risk of pregnancy loss and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Thrombophilia is an important predisposition to blood clot formation and is cons...

A Pregnant Woman with Factor V Deficiency

Rapid detection of the factor V Leiden (1691 G > A) and haemochromatosis (845 G > A) mutation by fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and real time PCR.

A rapid method based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to identify the haemochromatosis genotype in 112 individuals and the factor V genotype in 134 individuals. The results were compared with conventional methods based on restriction enzyme digestion of PCR products. The two methods agreed in 244 of the 246 individuals; for ...
