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)

New insights into genetic susceptibility of COVID-19: an ACE2 and TMPRSS2 polymorphism analysis
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has now been confirmed worldwide. Yet, COVID-19 is strangely and tragically selective.
