Mechanisms of the factor V Leiden paradox.
OBJECTIVE Carriers of the factor V Leiden mutation (FVL-carriers) have a substantially increased risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), whereas the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) is only mildly increased compared with noncarriers. So far few studies have investigated possible mechanisms for this so-called FVL paradox. METHODS AND RESULTS Consecutive patients with a first DVT or PE were includ...
متن کاملThe association of factor V Leiden with various clinical patterns of venous thromboembolism-the factor V Leiden paradox.
BACKGROUND Factor V Leiden (FVL) supposedly carries relatively higher risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), compared to the risk of pulmonary embolism (PE). AIM To prove this paradox in a group of patients with various clinical presentation of venous thromboembolism (VTE). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively evaluated clinical pattern of VTE in patients who had been referred to vascular ...
متن کاملEvolution of Factor V Leiden.
Factor V Leiden is a procoagulant mutation associated with venous and arterial thrombosis and pregnancy complications. Its high prevalence of 5% in Caucasians suggests that there are evolutionary benefits as well. Carriers are indeed reported to have various advantageous phenotypes related to haemostasis, inflammation and fertility: less acute blood loss; less menstrual blood loss; decreased ri...
متن کاملFrequency of factor V Leiden (G1691A) and prothrombin (G20210A) polymorphisms in Population of Kerman Province, Iran
Background & Aims:Thromboembolism is an acute cardiovascular disease that ranges from clinically unimportant to massive embolism. Both acquired and hereditary risk factors contribute to the disease. We aimed to determine the prevalence of two hereditary predisposing factor of the disease, prothrombin G20210A and factor V Leiden (G1691A) polymorphisms, in Kerman population.<br /...
متن کاملFrequency of Factor V Leiden and Prothrombin Polymorphism in South of Iran
Normal hemostasis requires balanced regulation of prothrombotic and antithrombotic factors. Inherited alteration of factor V and prothrombin gene, the G20210A mutation, increases the resistance of factor V to degradation and booster production of prothrombin respectively. These alterations can increase hypercoagulability leading to thrombotic consequences. We aimed to assess the frequencies of ...
