چکیده
Thirteen years after her last thrombotic event, anticoagulation was discontinued in a patient with combined thrombophilia involving mutation in factor V and G20210A polymorphism of the prothrombin gene. The only history was of arterial thrombosis. Three months later she presented a transmural myocardial infarction caused by coronary 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...

Background and purpose: Beside the environmental determinants there are major genetic factors that could cause Myocardial Infarction (MI). The aim of this study was to clarify the relationship between factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A with acute MI in patients younger than 50 years of age. Materials and methods: In this case-control study we recruited 101 MI patients and 101 healthy ...
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 ...

Increased levels of hemostatic factors and genetic mutations of proteins involved in coagulation may play a role in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease. We investigated clotting activity of factors II (FII:C), V (FV:C), VII (FVII:C), and X (FX:C), the prothrombin gene 20210G3A transition, and the factor V Leiden mutation in 200 survivors of myocardial infarction and in 100 healthy contr...

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 /...
