[Retinal artery occlusion and anterior ischemic optic neuropathy associated with factor V Leiden mutation: A case report].

Abstract excerpt

Factor V is a pro-coagulant cofactor required for the transformation of prothrombin into thrombin. Thrombin activates factor V, which is then deactivated by protein C. A mutation in factor V is responsible for the formation of factor V Leiden, resistant to activated protein C. The association of this mutation with venous thromboses has been established. Its association with arterial occlusions is still...
