Popis: Backgrounds: The increased prevalence of Leiden mutation (replacement of Arg by Glu of residue 506 in the factor V molecule, FVR, 506 Q) and the decrease serum levels of retinoids (vitamin A, zeaxantin, lutein, α- and s-carotene) have been proven in the patients in chronic bowel inflammatory diseases and colon polyposis (Mozsik et. al.: J. Physiol (Paris). 95: 488–494, 2001). Aim: was to study of changes in Leiden mutation and in serum levels of vitamin A and α- and s-carotene (α- and s-cryptoxantin, zeaxantin) inpatients with oesophageal (n=8), gastric (n=21), hepatocellular (n=15), pancreatic (n=10), and colorectal (n=44) cancers. Methods and patients: The Leiden mutation by PCR technique and serum levels of retinoids by HPLC were measured in the different gastrointestinal (oesophageal, gastric, hepatocellular, pancreatic and colorectal) cancer in comparison with 57 healthy person. Results: 1.) The prevalence of Leiden mutation increased significantly (21, 23, 21, 25, 35% vs. 5,5–6%; p values
