Our findings suggest that the risk of VTE by FHMI is not explained by rs8176719 (ABO), rs6025 (F5), rs1799963 (F2), rs2066865 (FGG), and rs2036914 (F11).
The genetic polymorphisms C677T and A1298C relating to the enzyme methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), a clotting Factor V Leiden mutation (1691G→A substitution of Factor V Leiden), and the mutant prothrombin 20210A allele were analyzed in this study.
The -675 4G/5G PAI-1 allele distribution differed significantly between patients and controls (P = 0.020), but no difference was found regarding the distribution of -844 G/A PAI-1 (P = 0.493), FVL (P = 0.199), FIIG20210A (P = 0.410), FXIII-AVal34leu (P = 0.160) and C677T MTHFR (P = 0.788).
In infants with atypical PVHI mutation analysis of the factor V Leiden (G1691A), prothrombin (G20210A) gene, and C677T and A1298C polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene was performed, and plasma lipoprotein(a) and homocysteine levels were measured.
While results from this study clearly demonstrate a strong association of hyperhomocysteinemia and homozygosity of the MTHFR C677T, but not FV-Leiden or PRT G20210A, mutations with confirmed CAD, they also suggest a potential role for factor V-Leiden in MTHFR C677T carriers.
APS, revealed by anti-beta-2-glycoprotein and anti-prothrombin antibodies positivity, and moderate HHcy related to heterozygous C677T and A1298C point mutations of the MTHFR gene were identified as a possible cause of thrombotic disorder responsible for the widespread presence of cutaneous and cerebral lesions.
The odds ratio for stroke was not significantly increased in carriers of the prothrombin mutation (OR 1.2; 95% CI 0.1-10.7), FVL (OR 2.5; 95% CI 0.5-13.5), or the C677T mutation (OR 1.7; 95% CI 0.6-4.5).
Here we carried out an investigation of the most common inherited risk factors for hypercoagulability including the mutation in the factor V gene (factor V Leiden), the transition 20.210G-->A in the prothrombin gene, and also the homozygosity for the 677C-->T transition in the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR).
102 patients with two or more consecutive abortions and 128 women without miscarriage were analyzed for factor V Leiden mutation (FVL), prothrombin G20210A mutation (PTM), C677T mutation in the 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene, glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa) C1565T polymorphism, and beta-fibrinogen G-455A polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques.
The relative risks (odds ratio, OR) of various risk factors for venous thrombophilia, including sex, antithrombin III, protein C (PC), protein S (PS) and plasminogen deficiencies, and C677T homozygous mutation of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase gene were assessed using age matched (+/-5 years) conditional logistic regression analysis in 116 Chinese venous thrombophilic patients (58 males; 58 females; mean age 47.5+/-17.7 [SD] years) and 125 healthy controls (67 males; 58 females; mean age 45.5+/-15.7 years).
This pilot study examined Factor V Leiden (R506Q), prothrombin (20210G-->A), thrombomodulin (A455V) and MTHFR (677C-->T) in 100 Zulu-speaking black South African women with placental abruption and 217 controls.
To investigate whether the factor V Leiden mutation (FVL), the prothrombin gene G20210A variant or the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T genotype are risk factors for central nervous system (CNS) thrombosis or intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in neonates.
We aimed to determine the prevalence of factor V Leiden (FVL), prothrombin (PTH) G20210A and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T gene polymorphisms in Egyptian nonmetastatic cancer patients and their influence on thrombosis risk in those patients.
6.9% of the patients were heterozygous for FVL, 5.7% were heterozygous for the prothrombin mutation, and 9.7% were homozygous for the MTHFR C677T mutation was detected in 9.7% of patients.
