The 20210 G → A mutation in the 3′‐untranslated region of the prothrombin gene and the risk for arterial thrombotic disease
1 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
A sequence variation in the 3'-untranslated region of the prothrombin (PT) gene (20210 G-->A) was recently claimed to be associated with elevated plasma prothrombin levels and an increased risk for venous and arterial thrombosis. We examined the prevalence of the 20210 A allele in the prothrombin gene in 400 healthy controls and in 263 patients with proven premature atherosclerotic disease. In addition, we...
