| Abstract: |
Prothrombotic hereditary risk factors for cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT) are of clinical interest to better understand the underlying pathophysiology and stratify patients for the risk of recurrence. This study explores prothrombotic risk factors in CVT patients. An initial screening in patients of the outpatient clinic of the Department of Transfusion Medicine and Hemostaseology of the University Hospital Erlangen, Germany, revealed 183 patients with a history of CVT. An initial screening identified a number of common prothrombic risk factors, including Factor V Leiden (rs6025) and Prothrombin G20210A (rs1799963). All patients without relevant findings (58 individuals) were invited to participate in a subsequent genetic analysis of 55 relevant genes using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Three intron variants (ADAMTS13: rs28446901, FN1: rs56380797, rs35343655) were identified to occur with a significantly higher frequency in the CVT patient cohort compared to the general European population. Furthermore, the combined prevalence of at least two of four potentially prothrombic variants (FGA (rs6050), F13A1 (rs5985), ITGB3 (rs5918), and PROCR (rs867186)) was significantly higher in the CVT subjects. The possible impact of the identified variants on CVT is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
