The G79A polymorphism of protein Z gene is an independent risk factor for cerebral venous thrombosis.

abstract：:Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) affects mainly working-aged individuals. Functional recovery after CVT is generally considered good with about 3/4 of patients achieving short-term independence. However, vascular events, long-term functional outcome, and employment after CVT remain poorly investigated. We identified c...
