Abstract
Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a critical and life-threatening condition driven by multifactorial etiologies, including genetic predispositions. The study was designed as a single-center retrospective manner. Echocardiographic features and genetic test including factor II/prothrombin (G20210A), factor V Leiden (G1691A), factor V R2 (A4070G), apolipoprotein (Apo) B-100 (G10708A), ApoE (C112R), ApoE (R158C), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) C677T, MTHFR A1298C, factor XIII G103T (V34L), β-fibrinogen (455G>A), PAI-1 4G/5G, and HPA-1 GPIIIa (T196C) genotyping variations were assessed. We performed genetic tests on 175 patients with PVT (biologically women [n = 124, 70.9%], with a mean age of 49.8 ± 13.1 years) and 101 patients (biologically women [n = 57, 56.4%], with a mean age of 54.7 ± 13.6 years) without thrombus formation. The thrombosis group was significantly younger compared with controls (p = 0.004). The percentage of patients with mechanical aortic valves was significantly lower in the thrombosis group compared with controls (22.3% vs 34.7%, p = 0.025). A significant difference was observed between the thrombosis and control groups regarding the genotype ratios of factor II/prothrombin (G20210A) (heterozygous, 6.8% vs 1%, p = 0.043) and HPA-1 GPIIIa (T196C) (homozygous mutant, 7.8% vs 0%, p = 0.034). In addition, there was a significant association of heterozygous MTHFR (A1298C) variation with obstructive thrombosis compared with nonobstructive thrombosis (46.9% vs 29.2%, p = 0.046). In conclusion, this is the first study to report a potential association between genetic variants, including HPA-1 GPIIIa (T196C), factor II/prothrombin (G20210A), MTHFR (A1298C), and PVT, necessitating extensive further research and additional clinical consideration.
