Thrombophilia screening in young patients with cryptogenic stroke. Prevalence of gene polymorphisms compared to healthy blood donors and impact on secondary stroke prevention.

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: The clinical relevance of thrombophilia screening in stroke patients is still a matter of debate, and descriptions of larger patterns of genetic variability are rare. We assessed the frequency of hereditary hypercoagulability in young patients with cryptogenic stroke (n = 44) and in healthy blood donors (n = 282) without prior cardiovascular event. Furthermore, we focused on the impact of...
