We present the case of a 28-year-old woman who was admitted to our cardiology unit for acute coronary syndrome. Her history was notable for cardiovascular disease familiarity, active smoking, and oral contraceptive use. On further analysis, she was noted to have thrombophilic polymorphisms involving the plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genes. We discuss the implications that these cofactors may have had in the genesis of the disease.

Introduction: Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and venous thromboembolism (VTE) are thought to share many common risk factors. Our study aimed to determine the frequencies of 5 thrombosis-related gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with VTE in patients with CTEPH (n 129) compared with a control group of healthy individuals without a history of VTE (n 2637).
Methods: The SNPs of the following genes were investigated: (F V Leiden, rs6025), prothrombin (rs1799963), fibrinogen gamma (FGG, rs2066865), (rs2289252) and (non-O, rs8176719) in both groups.
Combined thrombophilia represents 7.8-8.3% of the patients with thrombophilia and confers a higher risk for thrombosis development and recurrence.

Article Synopsis
- The study examined the 4G/5G polymorphism in the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) gene to determine its link to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in an Indian population.
- Results indicated that the 4G/5G polymorphism itself did not significantly increase DVT risk, despite some previous studies suggesting otherwise.
- However, individuals with the 4G/4G genotype showed a significant association with protein C deficiency and had lower PAI-1 levels compared to controls, indicating potential complex interactions with other thrombophilic risk factors.

Background: Despite pregnancy's hypercoagulable state, the correlation between inherited thrombophilia and thrombotic adverse pregnancy outcomes remains uncertain. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of inherited thrombophilic polymorphisms among asymptomatic pregnant individuals and to examine their potential correlation with adverse perinatal outcomes.
Methods: in this single-center prospective study, 105 healthy pregnant women were included.
Genotype-Phenotype Relationship among 785 Unrelated White Women with Inherited Congenital Factor VII Deficiency: A Three-Center Database Study.

Background: Congenital factor VII (FVII) deficiency, a rare bleeding disorder resulting from mutations in the F7 gene with autosomal recessive inheritance, exhibits clinical heterogeneity that lacks a strong correlation with FVII:C levels. The objective of this study was to discern genetic defects and assess their associations with the clinical phenotype in a substantial cohort comprising 785 white women exhibiting FVII:C levels below the age-dependent cut-off percentage.
Patients And Methods: Individuals with verified inherited factor VII deficiency underwent i) genotyping using the Sanger method and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) to identify F7 mutations, including common polymorphic variants.
