To determine the relevance of inherited prothrombotic risk factors in sudden hearing loss, we investigated 85 patients with sudden hearing loss of >/= 60 dB for the presence of inherited prothrombotic risk factors. The FV G1691A, FII G20210A, GPIa C807T, GPIIIa PIA1/A2, PAI-1 4G/5G, t-PA Alu repeat ID, MTHFR C677T and CBS 844ins68 genotypes were investigated. Allele frequencies found in patients were compared to those of 85 healthy control subjects of the same ethnic background using Chi-squared and odds-ratio analysis. The frequency of the GPIa807T allele was significantly elevated in patients compared to controls. In addition, allele frequency and genotype distribution of GPIa was significantly elevated in the patient group without recovery after 3 months of sudden hearing loss onset. Allele frequencies of all other prothrombotic risk factors investigated here did not differ from those of the control subjects. The single-nucleotide polymorphism of GPIa C807T seems to play a role as a prognostic factor in recovery from sudden hearing loss.
