Özet

Background G -> A substitution at position 20210A in the 3'-untranslated region in prothrombin gene is associated with raised plasma prothrombin. G20210A prothrombin variant has been associated with high prothrombin levels and an increased risk of venous thrombosis. To determine the prevalence of the G20210A prothrombin variant among Turkish and to evaluate the potential relevance of this variant to Turkish patients with angiographically documented coronary artery disease (CAD).
