Abstract excerpt
Vasculitis, thrombophlebitis, arterial aneurysms, and occlusions occur in about 25% of patients with Behçet's disease (BD). The common inherited gene defects, factor V (FV) 1691A (Leiden), methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) 677T, and prothrombin 20210A, are known risk factors for thrombosis. The aim of the study was to evaluate the contribution of these mutations to thrombosis in Israeli patients with...
