Prevalence Of Factor V Leiden In Down Syndrome Children With And Without Congenital Heart Disease

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: explore if any association exists between the FVL variant and CHD in DS patients.CHD is a common comorbidity in DS, with an incidence of 54-66% in DS infants [8].CHD frequently involves the shunting of systemic blood to the pulmonary circulation, potentially leading to thromboembolic complications [9-13].Therefore, this study was designed to analyze the prevalence of this variant in DS children with and without CHD.The findings could have important implications for improving early screening, preventive strategies, and personalized management in DS patients with CHD.
