Evaluation of molecular genetic variation associated with deep venous thrombosis in lower limb fractures in traumatic patients
Conclusion: According to the outcomes resulted from this study, genetic mutation in Prothrombin (Factor II [G20210A]) is one of the most important genetic variations involved in traumatic patients with DVT despite prophylaxis. Genetic mutation in Prothrombin appears to be predisposing factor for thrombosis associated with trauma. (Source: Indian Journal of Medical Sciences)
