We describe a 7-day-old infant who presented with extensive cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) and was found to be homozygous for the prothrombin G20210A gene mutation. No other known risk ...

Background: ABO blood type locus has been reported to be an important genetic determinant of venous and arterial thrombosis in genome-wide association studies. We tested the hypothesis that ABO blood ...

The annual incidence of venous thrombosis, one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity, increases from 1 per 100,000 during childhood to 1 per 100 in old age. 1 In this article we will ...

Findings from two Danish studies have shown that ABO blood type, both alone and in combination with the presence of factor V and prothrombin mutations, is associated with increases in risk for venous ...

The non-O ABO blood type is the most important risk factor for venous thromboembolism (blood clots in veins), making up 20 percent of attributable risk for the condition, according to a new study. The ...

Common heritable thrombophilias include factor V Leiden (1 in 20 white Europeans are heterozygous) and prothrombin G20210A (1 in 50 white Europeans are heterozygous), and uncommon ones include protein ...

Previous data have demonstrated associations between thrombophilia polymorphisms in pregnant women and an increased risk of intrauterine growth restriction in their offspring, but this finding remains ...

The authors review 8 cases of thrombosis in uncommon sites caused by protein S deficiency. Hypercoagulability, venous stasis, and vessel wall injury predispose to thrombus formation. Thrombophilia can ...
