Prothrombin (PT) G20210A is one of the genetic polymorphisms associated with thrombophilia. Studies show a low prevalence for this polymorphism in Asian populations with only one subject reported from India. We studied the prevalence and association of this polymorphism in patients with arterial and venous strokes and their matched controls in south and north India. ⋯ PT G20210A is prevalent in India, especially among those from north India. Its role in predisposition to thrombosis needs to be studied further along with other known risk factors.
