We performed a study to evaluate the role of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), factor V Leiden G1691A (FVL), prothrombin gene mutation G20210A (PRT or FII-G20210A) and methylenotetrahydrofolate reductase variant C677T (MTHFRC677T), as risk factors for G6PD in Saudi populations. Our results did not show any association with the three Thrombophilic genes with FVL gene, no statistical ...

BACKGROUND Various studies have demonstrated that factor V Leiden (FVL) and G20210A prothrombin mutation contribute to the risk of Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS), while other studies provided conflicting findings. In order to derive more precise estimations of the relationships, a meta-analysis was performed. METHODS Eligible articles were identified through search of databases including Pubmed, ...

Two G-to-A mutations at positions 1691 of the factor V (FV) gene and 20210 of the prothrombin (FII) gene have been associated with an increased risk of venous thromboembolism. We report a thrombosis-prone family in which one subject--the propositus who exhibited combined heterozygous FV G1691A and FII G20210A mutations--showed spontaneous and early clinical onset (at 23 years), recurrences of d...

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 ...

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 Emerging perioperative genomics may influence the direction of risk assessment and surgical strategies in cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) affect the clinical presentation and predispose to increased risk for postoperative adverse events in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG). METH...

Several inherited polymorphisms are associated with the risk of venous thrombosis, including mutation at codon 506 of the factor V gene and mutation at position 20210 of the prothrombin gene. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of factor II G20210A and factor V Leiden mutations in Algerian patients with venous thromboembolism disease. In this study, genotyping for factor V Leid...

conclusions: we determined a significant higher frequency of protein s deficiency in patients with rpl compared with controls. but the frequency of protein c deficiency and the frequency of two common thrombophilic mutations (factor v leiden and prothrombin g20210a), were not significantly different between patients with recurrent miscarriage and healthy women. results: the mean functional acti...
