Prothrombin G20210A: Prothrombin is the precursor of thrombin in the coagulation pathway; it is synthesized in the liver, much as other vitamin k – dependent proteins are.The prothrombin gene is found at 11p11-q12) on chromosome 11.[3] mutation at position 20210 of the gene results in thrombophilia.This coagulopathy is more likely to cause venous thrombosis rather than arterial disease. Is not related to a vitamin deficit. Coumadin (warfarin) is the treatment of choice. You seem to be in the hands of a good hematologist. I am truly sorry to hear about your stroke.I can understand your concerns as i also suffer from three clotting factor disorders and am on coumadin (warfarin). Best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.
