Association of prothrombin, FV Leiden and MTHFR gene polymorphisms in the Montenegrin patients with venous thromboembolism [PDF]
Background/Aim. Polymorphisms of the factor V Leiden (FV G1691A), prothrombin (FII G20210A), and methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR C677T) genes are the most commonly investigated inherited risk factors for developing venous thromboembolism (VTE)
