Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study's objective was to evaluate the association between venous thromboembolism during pregnancy and the postpartum period and the factor V Arg 506 Gln (factor V Leiden), the prothrombin G20210A, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C677T polymorphisms. STUDY DESIGN: In this c...
