Both patients also had recurrent fetal losses, as well as splenic and portal vein thrombosis. The coexistence of homozygous factor V Leiden mutation and antiphospholipid antibodies in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome is extremely rare. The interaction of antiphospholipid antibodies and factor V Leiden mutation in the pathogenesis of antiphospholipid syndrome and their contribution to Budd-Chiari syndrome are discussed.", pages = "73-77(5)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/vsp/hae/2002/00000032/00000001/art00010" doi = "doi:10.1163/156855902760262790" }
