Association of allelic variants of factor V Leiden, prothrombin and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase with thrombosis or ocular involvement in Behçet's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Thrombosis is frequent in patients with Behçet's disease (BD), although the exact cause remains uncertain. Some single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (G1691A in factor V gene, also called factor V Leiden [FVL], G20210A in prothrombin gene and C677T in methyltetrahydrofolate reductase [MTHFR] gene) have been associated with thrombosis and ocular involvement in BD with controversial results. AIM: To...
