Rapid combined genotyping of factor V, prothrombin and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase single nucleotide polymorphisms using minor groove binding DNA oligonucleotides (MGB probes) and real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Abstract excerpt

Risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and venous thromboembolism involve both acquired and hereditary conditions. Among the latter, mutations in genes coding for coagulation factors (factor V Leiden [Arg506Gly], G20210A in the 3'-untranslated region of factor II ) and variant C677T of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR ) are often involved and co-inherited. These three factors were genotyped...
