Activated Protein C Resistance (Factor V Leiden G1691A mutation), by PCR

3Day(s)

Reference Range

This test is useful in the differential diagnosis of hereditary thrombophilia. Around 20% of heterozygotes and 40% of homozygotes develop thrombosis at an average age of 36 and 25 respectively. The relative risk of venous thrombosis for carriers of this mutation is estimated to be 5-10-fold increase for heterozygote and 50-100-fold increase for homozygote individuals. See Activated Protein C Resistnace (Factor V Leiden), Functional; Protein C Antigen Assay; and Protein S Total and Free.
