Abstract
Based on a meta-analysis, the FVL mutation is associated with an increased risk of Budd-Chiari syndrome, PVT without cirrhosis, and PVT in cirrhosis. The prothrombin G20210A mutation is associated with PVT, but not Budd-Chiari syndrome. Studies are needed to confirm these findings in different racial and ethnic groups.
