Objective. To investigate the clinical and laboratory protective effects of heparin in Factor V Leiden (FVL) (1691) GA genotype carriers with a marked activated protein C (APC) resistance.
Subjects and methods. A single-center randomized controlled study was conducted in 141 pregnant women [the FVL (1691) GA genotype] with APC resistance by an international normalized ratio (INR) of 0.49 or less. The study group patients (n=70) received heparin prophylaxis cycles at 7–8 weeks’ gestation; the comparison groups of pregnant women (n=71) did not use low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH).
Results. During LMWH treatment, there were thrombin generation decreases determined by the thrombin generation test indicators: peak thrombin by 9-11% (p=0.008), endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) by 4–9% (p=0.013), and APC resistance by 9–14% (p < 0.05). The clinical protective effects of heparin were defined as a reduction in the absolute risk of developing preeclampsia by 29.5% (p=0.0003), fetal growth restriction by 23.8% (p=0.002), and preterm births by 12.6% (p=0.024).
Conclusion. Prophylaxis with heparin is pathogenetically justified and causes a significant decline in the number of pregnancy complications in FVL (1691) GA genotype carriers with a marked APC resistance (INR ≤0.49)
