In this case report we present the first case of livedo racemosa, in an 89-year-old factor V Leiden-positive patient with a Pseudomonas aeruginosa urinary tract infection. The cutaneous biopsies demonstrated vasculopathy with intraluminal thrombi in subcutaneous vessels with no evidence of inflammatory...
The relationship of the factor V Leiden mutation and pregnancy outcomes for mother and fetus. OBJECTIVE: We sought to estimate the frequency of pregnancy-related thromboembolic events among carriers of the factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation without a pe... D Dizon-Townson,C Miller,B Sibai,... ...
Activated protein C resistance, caused by a point mutation factor V gene was described in last decade. This article highlights a case of a 9 year-old-boy who admitted to Ba艧kent University Hospital with right- sided hemiplegia. He was diagnosed as heterozygous for the FVL muta- tion and ...
Combined oral contraceptives and factor V Leiden mutation are multiplicative risk factors for venous thromboembolism. However, it remains unknown whether this multiplicative effect is reflected in thrombin generation assays. We report here the evolution of the thrombin generation profile while taking ...
BACKGROUND: Factor V Leiden mutation represents the most common genetic risk factor of venous thrombosis in Caucasian population. A common mutation in prothrombin gene, which is due to G-->A transition at position 20210, is also associated with elevated prothrombin concentration and thrombosis. Both...
Summary Background The high allelic frequency of the prothrombotic Leiden polymorphism in human blood coagulation factor V (FV) has been speculated to reflect positive selection during evolution. Heterozygous Leiden carriers enrolled in the placebo arm of the PROWESS sepsis trial and heterozygous Leiden ...
It is well documented that factor V Leiden mutation (FVL) is a common hypercoagulable risk factor in the Caucasian population. Patients with homozygous FVL mutation have an increased risk for venous thromboembolism. However, there have been few cases of heterozygous FVL mutation associated with ...

ABO blood group genotypes and the risk of venous thrombosis: effect of factor V Leiden Among the 471 patients, 92 (19.5%) carried factor (F)V Leiden compared with 14 (3.0%) of the 471 controls, yielding an OR for venous thrombosis of 7.9 (95%... VM Morelli,MCHD Visser,HL Vos,......
A positive family history indicates that at least one other family member has been examined ophthalmologically and diagnosed with PPCD. Negative family history does not entirely exclude the presence of the disease in other family members as not all first-degree relatives could be examined. European ...
