The Factor V Leiden, Prothrombin Gene 20210GA, Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase 677CT and Platelet Glycoprotein IIIa 1565TC Mutations in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We wanted to investigate whether common prothrombotic mutations are more prevalent in patients with atrial fibrillation who have had a stroke than in healthy controls. We also wanted to assess whether early recurrent ischemic cerebrovascular events were more frequent among carriers of the factor V Leiden or the prothrombin gene mutations than among others. METHODS: We used a case-control...
