Abstract excerpt
Studies in adults have demonstrated that the genetic mutations C677T methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), prothrombin 20210A, and the 4G polymorphism of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene are associated with elevated plasma levels of homocysteine. prothrombin and PAI-1, respectively and with an increased risk of thrombosis. No similar data is available in children. Therefore, we assessed...
