Abstract
Objectives and methods: We assessed prothrombin activity, FIIG20210A, and FIIA19911G polymorphisms in a large population-based case–control study, the Multiple Environmental and Genetic Assessment (MEGA) study of risk factors for venous thrombosis. Four thousand three hundred and sixty-five consecutive patients with a first episode of deep vein thrombosis of the leg or pulmonary embolism were included. The control group (n = 4779) consisted of partners of patients or persons gathered using a random-digit dialing method. We studied the effect of FIIA19911G polymorphism on prothrombin activity and thrombosis risk, also in combination with factor V Leiden.
Results: Among FII20210-GG control subjects, FII19911-GG carriers had 7.1% [95% confidence interval (CI): 5.7–8.5] higher mean prothrombin activity than FII19911-AA carriers and the risk for GG carriers was 1.43-fold increased compared to AA carriers [odds ratio (OR) 1.43; 95% CI: 1.27–1.61]. Among FII20210-GA control carriers, the mean prothrombin activity in both FII19911-AA and -AG carriers was nearly equivalent [131.7% and 133.4%; mean difference (95% CI) = 1.7% (−7.2–10.7)]. Because of genetic linkage, FII19911-GG carriers were very rare on a FII20210-GA background, as only one FII20210A carrier had FII19911-GG. In FII20210-GA carriers, the OR increased from 3.05 (95% CI: 2.17–4.27) in subjects with FII19911-AA to 3.33 (2.28–4.85) in subjects with FII19911-AG, compared to those with FII20210-GG and FII19911-AA.
Conclusions: The FIIA19911G polymorphism is associated with mildly elevated prothrombin activity and is a risk factor for venous thrombosis.
