Several studies have tried to clarify the role of polymorphism 4G/5G of the PAI-1 gene in venous thromboembolism without reaching any final conclusion. It has been demonstrated that this polymorphism may induce an increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with thrombophilic defects. We studied the association of prothrombin mutation G20210A with 4G/5G polymorphism in 402 VTE patients and 466...
