Coinheritance of the HR2 Haplotype in the Factor V Gene Confers an Increased Risk of Venous Thromboembolism to Carriers of Factor V R506Q (Factor V Leiden)

E.M. Faioni, F. Franchi, P. Bucciarelli, M. Margaglione, V. De Stefano, G. Castaman, G. Finazzi, and P.M. Mannucci

From the Angelo Bianchi Bonomi Hemophilia and Thrombosis Center and Department of Internal Medicine, IRCCS Maggiore Hospital and University of Milano, Milan, Italy; the Unità di Aterosclerosi e Trombosi, IRCCS Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza di San Giovanni Rotondo, Foggia, Italy; the Department of Hematology, Catholic University, Rome, Italy; the Division of Hematology, S. Bortolo Hospital, Vicenza, Italy; and the Division of Hematology, Ospedali Riuniti, Bergamo, Italy.

With the aim of establishing whether the HR2 haplotype in factor V affects the risk of venous thromboembolism, a retrospective multicenter cohort study was performed in 810 family members identified through 174 probands who suffered from at least 1 episode of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolism and had an inherited defect associated with thrombophilia (antithrombin, protein C, or protein S deficiency; factor V R506Q or prothrombin G20210A). Fifty-eight percent (468/810) of the family members had an inherited defect and 10% (47/468) were symptomatic. The HR2 haplotype was found in association with factor V R506Q more frequently in family members with venous thromboembolism (18%) than in those without (8%). Double heterozygosity for factor V R506Q and HR2 conferred a 3- to 4-fold increase in the relative risk of venous thromboembolism compared with factor V R506Q alone. The median age at first event was lower when the 2 defects were associated (46 v 52 years). No increase in risk of venous thromboembolism could be demonstrated when the HR2 haplotype was associated with inherited thrombophilic defects other than factor V R506Q. Because both factor V R506Q and the HR2 haplotype are very frequent, the effect of their coinheritance on the risk of venous thromboembolism might represent a clinically relevant issue, and screening for HR2 in carriers of factor V R506Q should be considered.
