Interaction Between Hyperhomocysteinemia, Mutated Methylenetetrahydrofolatereductase (MTHFR) and Inherited Thrombophilic Factors in Recurrent Venous Thrombosis
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Venous thrombosis is a multicausal disease involving acquired and genetic factors. In this study we investigated a possible interaction between hyperhomocysteinemia (fasting or postload) and factor V Leiden or prothrombin G20210A on the risk of recurrent venous thrombosis. We also looked at the risk due to mutations in the MTHFR-gene (C677T and A1298C). We performed a case-control study in 171 patients with a...
