Purpose: The role of factor V Leiden and prothrombin 20210 A mutations has been investigated in patients with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO), hemispheric retinal vein occlusion (HRVO), and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).Methods: Factor V Leiden and prothrombin 20210 A were investigated in DNA obtained from the peripheral blood of 52 patients with retinal vein occlusion, Twenty-five of the patients had either CRVO or HRVO, and 27 patients had BRVO, The control groups for factor V Leiden and prothrombin 20210 A were comprised of two separate groups of 81 and 87 healthy; individuals, respectively who had been previously investigated for the mutations at Hacettepe University Department of Hematology, The frequencies of factor V Leiden and prothrombin 20210 A mutations mere compared between the patients and the controls using Fisher's exact test.Results: Factor V Leiden mutation was found in 8% of all patients, 4% of the CRVO-HRVO group and 11% of the BRVO patients. Prothrombin 20210 A mutation was not found in any of the patients. Factor V Leiden and prothrombin 20210 A mutations have been previously found in 7% and 2% of the healthy controls, respectively The differences of frequencies between the patients and the controls mere not statistically significant.Conclusion: Factor V Leiden and prothrombin 20210 A mutations have not been found to be risk factors in either type of retinal vein occlusion.
