Abstract

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a persistent motor disorder that appears before the patient is 3 years old due to a nonprogressive interference in the brain's development which takes place before the central nervous system growth is complete. Causes of this have been studied, and one that has been proposed for spastic hemiparesis CP is the Leiden mutation of V factor coagulation. We want to know whether this mutation can cause CP in our population. We carried out a study of cases and controls with 94 patients with spastic hemiparesis CP and 120 controls as well as their mothers with their controls. None of the patients, their mothers, or controls had the Leiden mutation; however, other risk factors were significant: hypoxia odds ratio (OR) 7.189 (2.546, 20.302) p=0.0001, smoking OR 16.621 (2.945, 93.818) p=0.001, maternal infections (urinary or vaginal) OR 7.040 (2.952, 16.789) p=0.0001, weeks of gestation OR 0.866 (0.7750, 0.999) p=0.048, and maternal age OR 1.114 (1.031, 1.204) p=0.006. Leiden mutation of factor V is not an important factor for our Mexican mestizo population; however, there are other important perinatal risk factors.

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.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
