Abstract EN
Background : Inherited thrombophilia may be caused by mutations, polymorphisms in a variety of genes mainly involved in haemostatic pathways.
Aim of the study, was to find the prevalence of thrombophilic gene factor V Leiden (FVL) and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene polymorphism in patients with myocardial infarction (MI), aiming at early diagnostic methods and guiding preventive procedures.
Subjects and methods : This study was carried on 30 patients who survived their first MI as compared to 15 healthy volunteers.
Patients and controls were subjected to history, physical examination.
Factor VL G1691A and MTHFR C677T genotypes were determined by RT PCR.
Results : The prevalence of heterozygous FVL GA genotype was significantly higher among MI patients as compared to the control group.
The prevalence of mutant homozygous AA was significantly higher in MI patients as compared to control.
The low risk cases had a higher frequency of GA genotype as compared to high risk cases.
As regards MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism, the prevalence of heterozygous MTHFR C677T CT genotype showed significant increase in MI patients compared with the control group.
The prevalence of mutant homozygous TT genotype was significantly higher in MI patients as compared to the control group.
The low risk cases had a higher frequency of heterozygous MTHFR C677T CT genotype than high risk cases.
