Pediatr Hematol Oncol. 2002 Dec;19(8):593-5. doi: 10.1080/08880010290108726.

Abstract

A 13-year-old female patient with the diagnosis of retinal artery occlusion was evaluated for thrombophilia. The data revealed high FVIII and FIX levels. The patient had familial clustering. The data indicate that elevated FVIII and FIX could be a risk factor for thrombosis.
