The prothrombin gene G20210A variant and puerperal cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis in South Indian women

Thrombophilic polymorphisms – factor V Leiden G1691A, prothrombin G20210A and MTHFR C677T – in Tunisian patients with cerebral venous thrombosis

“…2 However, this mutation is not a risk factor for Tunisian patients with CVT in our study, which it is in agreement with data from India. 5 Also, our results agree with a Lebanese study. 4 This mutation seems to occur at lower frequencies than FVL in Lebanon and Tunisia.…”

Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis with Tentorial Haemorrhagic Infarctions in Combined Proteins Deficiency and Hyperhomocysteinemia Treated with Anticoagulation- Limited Evidence with Good Results: A Case Report

“…Several studies have found that the hyperhomocysteinemia is associated with a several fold-increased risk of CVT [13][14][15]. In the case of our patient, the elevated homocysteine levels were brought down by treatment with pyridoxine, methylcobalamin and folic acid supplementation, similarly described in another case by Hassan et al [16].…”

Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis From a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital in India

“…12 In another study, prothrombin gene G20210A was not found in any patient, whereas MTHFR C677T was present in 16.3% and factor V Leiden (heterozygous) in 2.3%. 13 We have evaluated 60% of our patients for various prothrombotic conditions, and none had antithrombin-III and prothrombin gene mutations. Protein S deficiency was the most common and was present in 57.1%, followed by the MTHFR variant gene in 35%.…”
