Brief Summary: To assess the interaction between hormone replacement therapy and the prothrombotic mutations Factor V Leiden and the recently described prothrombin mutation 20210A on the incidence of venous thromboembolism VTE in a population-based case-control study conducted at Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound GHC
Detailed Description: BACKGROUND

Epidemiologic studies have identified Factor V Leiden as the most common cause of heritable thrombophilia a prothrombotic mutation associated with a 5 to 7-fold increase in the risk of venous thromboembolism VTE In pre-menopausal women the use of oral contraceptives is associated with a 4-fold increase in VTE risk and the joint effects of oral contraceptive use and Factor V Leiden carriership increase the VTE risk of by a factor of 35 Recently the results of several observational studies and randomized clinical trials suggest that in post-menopausal women the use of hormone replacement therapy is associated with a 3-fold increase in VTE risk Whether post-menopausal women with prothrombotic mutations experience a similar 20-fold increase in risk when they take post-menopausal hormones remains unknown

DESIGN NARRATIVE

In this case-control study post-menopausal women with a first episode of objectively confirmed venous thromboembolism and population-based controls were identified and recruited from the GHC enrollment files Controls were frequency matched to the cases on age and calendar-year Data collection included a review of ambulatory medical record and a telephone interview The GHC computerized pharmacy database was used to assess exposure to hormone replacement therapy A venous blood specimen was obtained from consenting subjects processed into aliquots of white cells plasma and red cells and stored at 70 degrees C prior to laboratory analysis DNA was extracted from white cells and molecular genotyping assays were conducted to assess carriership of prothrombotic mutations
