The existence of various coagulation and/or fibrinolytic system disorders (such as inherited thrombophilia) in patients with sepsis could possibly modify host response to infection as well as patient outcome. The aim of the study is to investigate inherited thrombophilic profile in patients with sepsis. Eighty-three patients with sepsis admitted at the Department of Internal Medicine of the University General Hospital of Patras, Greece were included. Thrombophilic profile (factor V G1691A (Leiden), factor V H1299R (R2), prothrombin G20210A, MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C, factor XIII V34L, β-fibrinogen-455 G-A and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 4G/5G) was evaluated using the cardiovascular diseases (CVD) StripAssay based on DNA isolation, PCR and reverse hybridisation. Data were collected from patients’ chart reviews. Seventy patients (84.3%) of the 83 enrolled had at least one thrombophilic mutation. The most common mutations were heterozygous for β-fibrinogen-455 G-A (43.4%), heterozygous for factor XIII V34L (32.5%), PAI-1 4G/4G (26.5%), homozygous MTHFR C677T (22.9%), heterozygous factor V H1299R (R2) (13.3%) and homozygous MTHFR A1298C (12.0%). A 30-day mortality was 14.5%. Multivariate analysis revealed that mortality was independently associated with Simplified Acute Physiology Score II score on admission, pneumonia and fibrinogen on admission. Nine patients (10.8%) developed septic shock. Coagulation disorders on admission, bacteraemia and PAI-1 genotype 5G/5G were independently associated with development of septic shock. The presence of thrombophilic mutations in patients with sepsis may affect their clinical response, and future studies are needed in order to elucidate the role of isolated thrombophilic mutations in patients with sepsis or septic shock.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the significance of factor V (FV) G1691A, prothrombin G20210A, methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) 4G/5G genotypes in development of childhood cerebral thrombosis (CT). A total of 113 Turkish children with CT were studied and compared with the control group. The carrier frequency of the factor V G1691A mutation was found to be significantly higher in the patient group (17.7%) than controls (7.4%). The presence of this genotype was associated with a 2.7-fold increased risk of developing CT (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.0—7.0). The prevalence of prothrombin G20210A mutation in 110 patients (4.5%) was insignificantly higher than controls (2.3%) (odds ratio, 2.0; 95% CI, 0.4—10.7). A statistically significant increase in the frequency of homozygous MTHFR C677T genotype was observed in 62 patients (11.3%) compared to controls (4.3%), and this genotype was associated with 2.8-fold increased CT risk (95% CI, 1.0—8.0). The incidence of PAI-1 4G/4G genotype in 65 patients (21.5%) was slightly lower than that of controls (26.0%), but the differences did not reach statistical significance (odds ratio, 0.8; 95% CI, 0.4—1.5). The results of this study suggested that factor V G1691A and MTHFR C677T genotypes may be associated with an increased risk of developing CT in Turkish children.

Background: Alterations in erythrocyte morphology parameters have been identified and associated with hematological disorders and other chronic and cardiovascular diseases. Erythrocytes are abundant in thrombus content. Their hemoglobin density and differences in the ratio of macrocytic and microcytic cells may be associated with hypercoagulopathy in those with a history of thrombosis. Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between hemogram parameters and thrombophilia genetic parameters. Method: A total of 55 patients whose thrombophilia panel was reviewed due to the diagnosis of thrombosis were included in the study. %MIC, %MAC, %HPO, %HPR and all hemogram parameters were measured using Abbott Alinity HQ. Prothrombin G20210A, MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C, Factor V Leiden G169A and PAI-1 4G/5G mutations were studied using Real Time-PCR. Results: The MTHFR C677T mutation was detected in 58.2% of the patients. The Factor V Leiden mutation was detected in 5.5% of the patients. The MTHFR A1298C mutation was detected in 58.2%, The PAI mutation was detected in 74.5%, and the Factor 13 mutation was detected in 29% of the patients. Prothrombin G20210A mutation was not detected in any of the patients. Red blood cell (RBC) and Hct values were higher in Factor 13 mutant group; the Hgb and Htc values were higher in the MTHFR C677T mutant group. Conclusion: The MTHFR C677T and Factor 13 mutations may be associated with high Hct and RBC, Hgb, and Htc values, respectively and coagulation tendency in patients with a history of thrombosis.

Abstract Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) represents a major health problem. In the general population, the absolute risk of any kind of VTE is 0.1%–0.2% per year, and it increases with age. VTE is an important and preventable cause of morbidity and mortality, with almost a third of survivors experiencing long term effects. Obesity is well-known risk factor of VTE. The extent of the effects of obesity on VTE depends not only on total body fat, but also on the distribution of adipose tissue (e.g., central obesity) and the interplay among risk factors for VTE, such as genetic mutations, and other risk factors. Thrombophilia, venous thromboembolism, obesity, waist circumference Purpose The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of waist circumference on the risk of venous thromboembolism Methodology The study involved 68 patients with VTE (33 females and 34 males, mean age 56.8 years ±15.3) and 84 patients without VTE (38 males and 46 females, 44.4 years±18.6). From 2015 to 2017, data have been collected from records of patients admitted to department of internal medicine. All subjects were recruited to the study during their stay in the hospital. The reasons for hospitalization were: acute event of DVT or PE for the main group, the absence of acute event or history of VTE for the control group. DVT was diagnosed by ultrasonic Doppler examination, and PE was confirmed by intravenous radiocontrast computed tomography. Anthropometric measures were performed with subjects wearing short-sleeved garments and no shoes; waist circumference was measured in centimeters at the umbilical line. For all patients genetic testing for inherited thrombophilia – Factor V Leiden G1691A, Prothrombin G20210A, MTHFR C677T polymorphism, PAI-1 (SERPIN1) 4G/5G polymorphism – was performed by real-time PCR technique. Results Factor V Leiden G1691A increase the risk of VTE in 2.11 (CI: 1.79–2.48), p=0.049, prothrombin G20210A in 3.21 (CI: 1.66–6.211), p=0.049. MTHFR C677T polymorphism, PAI-1 (SERPIN1) 4G/5G polymorphism also increase the risk of VTE, but it was no significant. Study have shown that waist circumference >80 cm increase the risk of VTE in 3.19 (CI: 1.35–7.58), p=0.019. Combination of inherited thrombophilia (Factor V Leiden G1691A, Prothrombin G20210A, MTHFR C677T polymorphism, PAI-1 (SERPIN1) 4G/5G polymorphism) and waist circumference >80 cm increase the risk of VTE in 3.51 (CI: 1.76–7.04), p<0.001. Conclusion Previous results of our work indicate influence of waist circumference >80 cm on the risk of VTE, especially risk of thrombosis is higher in patients with combination inherited thrombophilia and waist circumference >80 cm.

SummaryIndividuals belonging to six racial groups (African American, Asian Indian, Caucasian, Hispanic, Korean, Native American), and a seventh group comprised of referred patients with thrombosis were genotyped for the prothrombin G20210A mutation, the factor V G1691A (Leiden) mutation, and the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T mutation by multiplexed allele-specific PCR. The prothrombin 20210A and factor V 1691A allele frequencies in the thrombosis patients, 3.2% and 9.5%, were significantly higher than those in the random Caucasians, 1.3% and 1.8%, (p = 0.043 and p <0.001, respectively). The relative risk of venous thrombosis was determined to be 2.4-fold for carriers of the prothrombin 20210A allele (odds ratio = 2.54; 95% confidence interval = 0.94, 6.82) and 4.5-fold for carriers of the factor V 1691A allele (odds ratio = 5.06; 95% confidence interval = 2.25, 11.36). Among the seven populations, significant differences were observed in the MTHFR 677T allele distribution, however this mutation was not determined to be a risk factor for venous thrombosis in the patient group studied, either alone or in combination with the pro-thrombin 20210A and/or the factor V 1691A allele(s).
