We aimed to search for the relation of both prothrombin gene G20210A mutation and factor V G1691A (factor V Leiden) mutation with AVN among kidney transplant recipients.
In this cohort of Ashkenazi Jewish patients, the frequency of mutations in the MTHFR, prothrombin, and factor V Leiden genes was found to be low, as was the presence of anticardiolipin antibodies; and none was correlated with increased incidence of AVN.
