Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between severe novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) and hypercoagulable conditions that predispose patients to thrombosis such as the prothrombin gene (F2) rs1799963 (G20210A), factor V Leiden (F5) rs6025 (G1691A) and PAI-1 (rs1799768). Patients: NCP-diagnosed 62 previously healthy patients were enrolled for the investigation of the thrombophilia-related polymorphisms. Materials & methods: The frequency of genotypes were compared with healthy control group frequencies from other studies. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the severe patient group and the healthy population regarding the investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Conclusion: This study is the first to rule out the relationship of rs1799963, rs6025 and rs1799768 with severe NCP.
