A molecular diagnosis based on the presence of Factor V Leiden (FVL), as well as on PT G20210A and MTHFR C677T mutation (in 14 patients) using PCR was applied. Patients who had central venous catheters (n\u2009=\u200929) were treated with an intensified thromboprophylaxis protocol that had been previously established in our institution.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of the FVL mutation was 19.4% (95% CI\u2009=\u20095\u201332). The allele frequency is estimated at 11.3% (95% CI: 3.5\u201319.1) which is higher than that reported for the population of the mainland of Greece. The prevalence of the PT G20210A and MTHFR C677T mutation was 14.3 and 71.4%, respectively (corresponding allele frequencies 7.1 and 50%, respectively). Only one patient developed thrombosis, having although no thrombophilic trait.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Thrombophilic traits were relatively common in this group of native Cretan children treated for malignancy.
