Abstract excerpt
The G-->A mutation at position 20210 of the prothrombin gene, localized in the 3'-polyadenylation untranslated region of the mRNA, is a recognized genetic risk factor for venous thromboembolism. The mechanism by which this base change confers an increased risk of thrombosis compared to noncarriers is undefined. Studies on the mRNA suggest enhanced cleavage site recognition and a change in the location of the...
