Introduction: Acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) presents with wide spectrum and has variable prognosis. Factor V Leiden (FVL) is the most common inherited thrombophilia, with a prevalence of 3%-7% in the general US population, approximately 5% in Whites, 2.2% in Hispanics and 1.2% in Blacks. PTE most commonly originates from venous thrombosis. The occurrence of venous thromboembolism is a culmination of environmental and genetic risk factors. The current study was sought to identify the mutations in exon-10 of FV gene in patients with PTE.<br /> Methods: Sixty cases diagnosed with PTE and 50 healthy controls were enrolled in the present study. Mutation studies in exon-10 of Factor V gene included PCR-DNA sequencing method.<br /> Results: Of 60 patients, we found two novel transition type point mutations: c.1538 G>A and c.1601 G>A in exon-10 of Factor V which is responsible for the cleavage site for aPC. These point mutations resulted in single amino acid change in protein sequence at p.Arg513Lys and p.Arg534Gln respectively. These mutations prevent efficient inactivation of Factor V and Factor V remains active which facilitates over production of thrombin leading to generation of excess fibrin and excess coagulation which results in deep vein thrombosis and PTE.<br /> Conclusion: We report two novel point mutations (c.1538 G>A and c.1601 G>A) in exon-10 of Factor V gene in Indian patients with PTE.

A common cause of hereditary thrombophilia is activated protein C resistance (APCR), and most cases result from factor V Leiden mutation. An APCR phenotype without association with factor V Leiden has been described. This transversal, observational, nonrandomized study evaluated these 2 phenomena in healthy indigenous and mestizo Mexican subjects (n = 4345), including 600 Mexican natives. No indigenous subjects had APCR, but 82 mestizo subjects did. After retesting, 50 subjects had a negative test. The remaining 32 subjects had factor V Leiden, giving a 0.85% prevalence of factor V Leiden in the mestizo Mexican population. Only 31% of APCR carriers had factor V Leiden. These results show a very low prevalence of APCR and factor V Leiden in Mexico. Except for factor V Leiden, there are no other mutations in the factor V gene responsible for the APCR phenotype. Acquired APCR is nearly twice as prevalent as the inherited variant.

SummaryTwo novel polymorphisms were identified in the factor V gene by direct sequencing of intronic areas. One of them, located in intron 9, is the marker closest to the Leiden mutation ever described, whereas the other, in intron 16, displays a rare allele invariantly associated to the mutation. Allele-specific amplification protocols were designed to perform extensive screenings for both polymorphic sites. The new markers were used in combination with six previously described polymorphisms to define specific factor V gene haplotypes. Haplotype investigations in 506Q homozygous thrombotic patients and normal controls showed the presence of a single haplotype underlying the factor V Leiden mutation in Mediterranean populations (among which Greek Cypriots, where the R506Q mutation is particularly frequent) and Indians. When traced in the absence of the Leiden mutation, the background haplotype was found to be present and roughly as frequent as the mutation itself in these populations. These findings indicate a single mutational event, that probably occurred outside Europe, as the cause of the Leiden mutation and provide a powerful tool to investigate its evolutionary history.
