ABSTRACT
Protein Z (PZ), a cofactor for PZ-dependent protease inhibitor, is known to play an important role in inhibiting the coagulation cascade. The aim of the study was to investigate whether PZ G79A polymorphism is a risk factor for puerperal cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). A total of 71 patients with puerperal CVT and 98 healthy controls were genotyped for PZ 79GA polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. In patients, the genotype distribution for GG, GA, and AA genotypes was 22.5%, 43.7%, and 33.8%, and in controls, 25.5%, 40.8%, and 33.7%, respectively. The risk associated with carrying the mutant genotype (GA and AA) versus the wild GG genotype was found to be 1.11 (95% confidence interval 0.52-2.35; P = .909). There was no significant difference in the clinical features of the patients with and without the polymorphism. We therefore conclude that PZ G79A polymorphism is not a risk factor for puerperal CVT in Indian women.
