Prothrombin Gene Polymorphism (G20210A) among Sudanese Patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage, Khartoum State, 2022

Background Intracranial hemorrhage is the third most frequent cause of cerebrovascular disease, also known as cerebral bleed, intraparenchymal bleed and hemorrhagic stroke. This study was designed to detect the possible present of factor II   polymorphism (G20210A) among Sudanese patients with Intercereberal hemorrhage. Material and method This study was cross sectional hospital-based study,conducted at the research laboratory of the national center of neurological sciences (NCNS), Khartoum, Sudan during the period June 2022 to August 2022.It included all patients attended with intracerebral hemorrhage, demographic data ( age , gender, associated disease ). DNA extraction was done from blood of all patients and control.PCR for factor prothrombin gene was done and thus Sanger sequencing. Results: The PCR results showed; 100% positive forfactor II gene. And sequencing result showed base bare exchange in factor II gene G to A (G20210A)polymorphism . Conclusion Factor II gene polymorphism (G20210A) was detected and might be association with Intercereberal hemorrhage among Sudanese patients
