It maintained a borderline significance when analyzed in the arterial thrombosis subgroup only (69.2 vs . 38.2%, p = 0.06).

Separate analyses of different arterial thrombotic events showed more frequent CT genotype of β-fibrinogen c.-148C>T SNP in MPN patients with ischemic stroke compared to other arterial vascular events; however, the results were of borderline significance (75.0 vs . 50.0%, p = 0.06).
The carriers of the heterozygous genotype of this SNP showed a trend toward a higher risk of ischemic stroke in our cohort, although, considering the small number of patients, it was of borderline significance.
