Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the gene for prothrombin (F2 20210A) and factor V (F5 1691A, factor V Leiden) are established risk factors for deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Recently, a mutation in the gene for factor XIII (F13 100T) leading to a Valine-Leucine exchange at amino acid position 34 has been reported to be protective against DVT. To analyze the role of these mutations for DVT in Austria, we analyzed their prevalence in...
