Abstract excerpt

Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is associated with a genetic risk factor in about half of all cases. Antithrombin, protein C or protein S deficiencies account for 5 to 10 per cent of hereditary thrombophilia whereas the Arg 506 Gln factor V mutation is found in 20 to 30 per cent of DVTs and the G20210A factor II gene mutation in 5 to 10 per cent of them.
