Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in factor V (factor V Leiden-G1691A) and prothrombin (G20210A) genes are important risk factors for thrombophilia due to their high incidence in patients with thromboembolic events, especially among the young. However, it is not clear if levels of hypercoagulability markers are significantly altered in asymptomatic young carriers of factor V Leiden or prothrombin G20210A. METHODS: Hemostatic...
