Özet

This report summarizes the coexistence of two mutations; Factor V 1691 G-A and prothrombin 20210 G-A in Turkish population and emphasises on the point that, this coexistence increases the risk of thrombosis in such patients. In thrombophilia screening programs, these two variants should be included, particularly in Turkish population.
