The distribution of factor V Leiden G1691A, II G20210A, MTHFR C677T, and H1299R polymorphisms known to predispose thrombophilia in 215 cases 40 controls admitted with indication recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) was investigated. Genotyping performed by melting curve analysis using simultaneous PCR (RT-PCR). There no difference between genotype allele frequencies the case control groups terms exam...

background: recurrent pregnancy loss is (rpl) a heterogeneous condition. while the role of acquired thrombophilia has been accepted as an etiology for rpl, the contribution of specific inherited thrombophilic gene polymorphisms to the disorder has been remained controversial. methods: one hundred women with a history of two or more consecutive abortions and 100 women with at least two live birt...

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 /...

To the Editor, Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a rare complication of pregnancy that mainly affects women in their 3rd or 4th decade. Numerous etiologies have been proposed, including ones of idiopathic origin. Early therapy with anticoagulants can be lifesaving; hence, a high index of suspicion is important in order to avoid serious complications such as pulmonary embolism (14%), sepsis, and ...

CONTEXT Pregnancy and puerperium raise the risk of thromboembolic events, and these risks are increased in women who are carriers of thrombophilia factors. Prothrombin (FII) G20210A and factor V Leiden heterozygous mutations are associated with moderate risk of thrombosis. The association of these thrombophilic conditions is very rare in pregnancy, and the real risk of thrombosis is unknown. ...
