We aimed to examine inherited thrombophilia frequencies by extending genetic profile to previously rarely or not investigated polymorphisms in children with ischemic pediatric stroke (IPS) and their parents.

The study included 33 children: 23 with perinatal arterial ischemic stroke (PAIS), eight with childhood arterial ischemic stroke (CAIS), and two with sinovenous thrombosis and their parents (33 mother-child, 12 father-child, and 12 mother-father-child pairs). Genotyping of FV-Leiden, FV-H1299R, FII-G20210A, β-fibrinogen-455G>A, FXIII-A-Val34Leu, PAI-1(4G/5G), HPA-1, MTHFR-C677T, MTHFR-A1298C, ACE(I/D), and APOE(ε2-4) was performed using CVD Strip assay (ViennaLab, Austria).

At least one and up to seven simultaneously present polymorphisms were observed in all children with IPS, mothers, and fathers. More than five simultaneously present polymorphisms were …
