[ 23] found no association between the Factor V Leiden mutation and deep venous thrombosis, they did find that the deletion-deletion genotype of the angiotensin converting enzyme was strongly associated with postoperative venous thrombosis in 85 patients who had undergone total hip arthroplasty (30 of whom had a thromboembolic event as detected by routine compression duplex ultrasound).
However, 12 of the 30 experimental subjects had isolated distal deep venous thrombosis (which is of questionable clinical significance) and only 10% had a pulmonary embolism.
The risk of thrombosis from valdecoxib has now been established [3,7], and this, together with its propensity rarely to cause Stevens-Johnson syndrome without a mitigating benefit over traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, has led to its withdrawal from the market . The cardiovascular hazard of coxibs appears likely to be attributable to the suppression of COX-2-derived prostacyclin [1,8].
For similar reasons, we decided not to study factor V R506Q (G1691A; i.e., the factor V Leiden mutation), despite its apparent association with cerebral vein thrombosis [ 9 ] . Although unknown point mutations in the coding regions of these genes may relate to stroke and relevant variations in gene expression elements may exist, we decided to focus on more immediately high-yield candidate genes.
It remains possible that the patient was genetically predisposed to thrombosis by a mutation in an undetermined factor.
