Abstract

A common G-to-T point mutation (Val 34 Leu) in exon 2 of the alpha-subunit of the factor XIII is strongly negatively associated with the development of myocardial infarction. This result suggests that factor XIII Val 34 Leu is interfering with the formation of cross-linked fibrin. The role of factor XIII Val 34 Leu in the pathogenesis of cerebral infarction and primary intracerebral hemorrhage is unknown. Six hundred twelve patients with acute stroke, defined by World Health Organization criteria and cranial CT, and 436 age-matched control subjects free of cerebrovascular disease were genotyped for the factor XIII Val 34 Leu mutation. Venous blood was drawn for the determination of hemostatic variables and lipids. Factor XIII genotype was determined through a single-stranded conformational polymorphism technique and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1 4G/5G promoter genotype by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. The mutation was more frequent in patients with primary intracerebral hemorrhage (n=62) (54.8%; P=.05) than in control subjects (41.7%) or in patients with cerebral infarction (n=529) (46.5%; P=.22). There was no relationship between PAI-1 levels and the PAI-1 4G/5G genotype. There was a slightly higher inci...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
