Background and Aim: A stroke is defined as the rapid loss of brain function due to a disturbance in blood supply. Age is a major risk factor for stroke, and genetic influences may be more significant in younger stroke patients. Patients with positive results should receive appropriate counseling. This study is the first to comprehensively investigate thrombophilia genes in Iranian populations with ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to determine the occurrence of genetic mutations linked to thrombophilia in individuals with ischemic stroke and examine their correlation with clinical parameters and the genetic markers of thrombophilia.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 62 patients with ischemic stroke at the Department of Stroke in Shahid Beheshti Complex Hospital affiliated with the Qom University of Medical Sciences from October 2017 to October 2018. DNA extraction was done using CVD StripAssay® kits. SPSS software, version 25, was used to analyze the data and the statistical significance level was defined as P<0.05.
Results: Sixty-two patients with ischemic stroke had a mean age of 67.9±3.76 years. The prevalence of risk factors included smoking at 11.1%, hypertension at 79.4%, and previous diabetes and hyperlipidemia at 44.4%. Women exhibited a lower prevalence of risk factors. The most common mutation was the polymorphism of ACE at 82.5%. The second and third most common mutations were the polymorphism of FGB at 76.2% and the polymorphism of LTA at 71.4%. The prevalence of polymorphisms was as follows: ACE I/D 82.5%, FGB -455G>A 76.2%, LTA 804C>A 71.4%, eNOS 894G>T 52.4%, eNOS -786T>C 12.7%, Apo B R3500Q 33.3%, HPA1 a/b 31.7%, and Apo E (E2E2: 54%, E2E3: 3.2%, E2E4: 9.5%, E3E3: 14.3%, E3E4: 15.9%, E4E4: 1.6%). The relationship between the genes and age, sex, smoking, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension was measured, but no significant relationship was found.
Conclusion: Thrombophilia risk factors were separated into high- and low-risk factors. There was no significant association between demographic characteristics, including age, sex, smoking, preexisting comorbidities, and thrombophilia (P>0.05). It is suggested to conduct studies with larger sample sizes, aimed at investigating gene-environment interactions as well as gene-gene interactions.
