The factor II (prothrombin) G20210A gene polymorphism is the second most common SNP reported in VTE where it is associated with elevated plasma prothrombin levels and with a 3-fold increased risk. We studied the distribution of the G/G, G/A, and A/A genotypes of the Prothrombin G20210A gene mutation in the general Lebanese population using a novel technique in order to assess their prevalence, compare the results...
