Thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) gene polymorphisms have been proposed as a predisposing factor for cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). We analyzed the association between CVT and TAFI single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs3742264, rs2146881, and rs1926447) compared to healthy controls. Mexico Mestizo confirmed cases with CVT and age- and sex-matched controls with no history of venous thrombotic events were recruited from July 2006 to July 2015. Demographic, clinical, and imaging information was included in the analysis. Genotyping single-nucleotide polymorphisms were performed by allele-specific polymerase chain reaction. Allelic univariate analysis, haplotype association, and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were assessed. A total of 113 CVT cases (94 females [83.2%]; median age 35 years [interquartile range 27-43 years]) and 134 age- and sex-matched controls were included. The main risk factors for CVT were pregnancy/puerperium (30.9%), oral contraceptive use (19.5%), and hereditary thrombophilia (7.1%). We found no significant association for heterozygous and homozygous models for rs3742264 ( P = .30 and P = .69, respectively), rs2146881 ( P = .90 and P = .17, respectively), or rs1926447 ( P = .40 and P = .52, respectively) compared to controls; these findings were consistent in subgroup and haplotype analyses. In conclusion, TAFI rs3742264, rs2146881, and rs1926447 polymorphisms do not increase the risk of CVT in comparison to healthy controls.
