The Effect of PAI-1 Gene Variants and PAI-1 Plasma Levels on Development of Thrombophilia in Patients With Klinefelter Syndrome

Abstract: Klinefelter syndrome (KS) is a common sex chromosome-related abnormality seen among men. KS negatively affects spermatogenesis and testosterone production. It increases the risk of thrombosis but its molecular mechanism has not been well described yet. Elevated PAI-1 is a risk factor for thrombosis. The rs1799889 polymorphism located in the promoter region of the PAI-1 gene was detected in patients with deep venous thrombosis. In this study, the PAI-1 gene variant and its plasma levels in KS patients were exam… Show more

“…This again could point to specific properties of fat tissue in men with KS compared with controls. In a recent study, increased levels of PAI-1 were seen among men with KS compared with controls ( 25 ). However, in that study, no data are given concerning the range of BMI in the control population and the men with KS included in the study had a very wide BMI range (16.3–36.3 kg/m 2 ) and none were currently treated with testosterone and testosterone levels were not assessed.…”

“…In addition, the polymorphism of RS1799889 in the promoter region of the PAI-1 gene has been detected in patients with thrombosis. 17 However, there is no association between elevated levels of PAI-1 and the risk of venous thrombosis in recent study. 18 The 5G allele is associated with reduced PAI-1 transcript levels compared with 4G allele, so the presence of the 5G allele may lead to a reduced risk of thrombotic events.…”
