We report a case ofmyocardial infarction at a young age in a subject heterozygous for the G20210A prothrombin gene variant and homozygous for the C677TMTHFR polymorphism, who presented a strong family history of atherothrombosis. Genetic screening for inherited thrombophilia, especially in the presence of a strong familiarity, may be a critical information for secondary prevention of arterial thrombosis.

Abstract
We report a case ofmyocardial infarction at a young age in a subject heterozygous for the G20210A prothrombin gene variant and homozygous for the C677TMTHFR polymorphism, who presented a strong family history of atherothrombosis. Genetic screening for inherited thrombophilia, especially in the presence of a strong familiarity, may be a critical information for secondary prevention of arterial thrombosis.File in questo prodotto:
