A genetic variation in the 3'-UT region of the prothrombin gene, a G to A mutation at nucleotide 20210, has been associated recently with increased risk of acute myocardial infarction. We describe a case of a young patient carrying the mutation, with an AMI caused by large bilateral intracoronary...
