CBS and MTRR mutations, observed in Sicily, in thromboembolic and hyperhomocystemic patients, unresponsive to administration of folate and vitamin B12

Factor V Leiden and prothrombin gene mutation in inflammatory bowel disease in a Mediterranean area.

Abstract Background. Thromboembolism has been reported to be associated with inflammatory bowel disease. Aim. To evaluate the association of factor V Leiden and prothrombin gene mutation with inflammatory bowel disease in a population of patients with thromboembolic events and inflammatory bowel disease and in a control population of patients with inflammatory bowel disease without thromboembolic events. Patients and methods. A series of 18 patients with inflammatory bowel disease and a history of arterial or venous thrombosis and 45 patients with inflammatory bowel disease without thromboembolic events were evaluated for the presence of factor V Leiden and prothrombin gene mutation.
