There is unsolved debate regarding the association of coagulation factor VII (FVII) R353Q polymorphism with venous thrombosis. Objective: We aimed to assess the association of FVII R353Q polymorphism with the risk of CVT. Methods: Patients with CVT and age and sex-matched controls were included in our study. All patients were subjected to history taking, examination, brain computerized tomography scans (CT), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV). For patients and controls; assay of FVII levels, and FVII R353Q polymorphism were assessed. Results: A total of 32 patients with CVT and 30 age and sex matched healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. There was no statistically significant difference between patients and controls regarding age, sex, body mass index, laboratory tests. Headache was the comm...
