Abstract excerpt
A common G to A transition at nucleotide 20210 of the prothrombin gene is associated with an increased risk for deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and high plasma levels of prothrombin. We calculated the prevalences of prothrombin G20210A, factor V G1691A (also associated with high risk for DVT) and homozygous methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T (associated with increased susceptibility to develop...
