摘要
The most common genetic defect associated with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a mutation in the Factor V gene (G1691A), known as Factor V Leiden (FVL). We investigated the genotypes for FVL in 571 individuals in Venezuela: 208 patients with DVT, 175 patients with acute myocardial infarction, 54 patients with stroke, and 134 control subjects. Our results showed in the population analyzed here that the FVL was associated with a fourfold increase in the risk for DVT (odds ratio, 4.24; 95% confidence interval, 1.35-14.79); particularly, women carriers showed a 6.5-fold increase in the risk for DVT. No relation was observed between the presence of FVL and the risk for acute myocardial infarction or stroke. In conclusion, a clear association between the FVL mutation and DVT was observed in the population analyzed in Venezuela. These results are in agreement with those found in other populations with different ethnic backgrounds.
