In the study, the team describes a rare case of PAI-1 gene hyper-expression with concurrent heterozygous MTHFR mutation, leading to bilateral deep venous thrombosis (DVT’s) and compartment syndrome with sequela. Unfortunately, the patient underwent a series of life threatening turns before the provoking etiology could be identified. Currently, no guidelines exist to prevent or treat patients with these mutations.
AUA congratulates Gurbani on his research and for being selected to present at the AAFP conference!
