Two common genetic thrombotic risk factors: Factor V Leiden and prothrombin G20210A in adult Turkish patients with thrombosis
2 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of genetic risk factors for thrombosis varies greatly in different parts of the world, both in patients with thrombosis and in the general population. Factor V Leiden (FVL) and prothrombin G20210A (PT G20210A) mutations are the most common genetic defects leading to thrombosis. We have previously reported that those two thrombotic risk alleles are frequently found in Turkish children with...
