Factor V Leiden, MTHFR C677T and Prothrombin Gene Mutation G20210A in Iranian Patients with Venous Thrombosis
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...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Activated Protein C Resistance and Factor V Leiden Mutation in the Mediterranean Region
Venous thromboembolic disorders (VTE) are serious disorders with high morbidity and mortality rates. Many genetic and acquired risk factors were identified to cause VTE. The most common genetic risk factor is Factor V Leiden mutation (FVL). FVL was found in high percentage of populations of Caucasian origin but was almost absent in non-Caucasians. It was also reported in populations living in N...
متن کاملActivated protein C resistance due to a common factor V gene mutation is a major risk factor for venous thrombosis.
Inherited resistance to activated protein C (APC) was recently discovered to be a cause of familial thrombophilia and is now known to be the most common genetic risk factor for venous thrombosis. It is caused by a single point mutation in the gene for factor V, which predicts substitution or arginine (R) at position 506 with a glutamine (Q). Accordingly, the activated form of mutated factor V (...
متن کاملHigh risk of thrombosis in patients homozygous for factor V Leiden (activated protein C resistance)
Resistance to activated protein C (APC) is a common inherited risk factor for venous thrombosis, which is associated with a mutation in coagulation factor V (factor V Leiden). We investigated the risk of venous thrombosis in individuals homozygous for this abnormality. We determined the factor V Leiden genotype in 471 consecutive patients aged less than 70 years with a first objectively confirm...
متن کاملLow prevalence of activated protein C resistance and coagulation factor V Arg506 to Gln mutation among Korean patients with deep vein thrombosis.
Activated protein C (APC) is a naturally occurring anticoagulant that interacts with factor V and VIII to inhibit the clotting cascade. The prevalence of APC resistance among Korean patients with deep vein thrombosis is ill defined. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of APC resistance and factor V Leiden mutation in Korean patients with deep vein thrombosis. The pres...
