Background and aims Resistance to activated protein C (APCR) caused by the Leiden mutation to factor V is the most common cause of inherited thrombosis. Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are considered to have an increased risk of thromboembolic complications, and the role of APCR ...

Inherited thrombophilia comes in several forms. The most common arefactor V Leidenmutation, which 1 in 20 people of European descent have, and the prothrombin G20210A gene mutation or factor II mutation, which happens in 2% of the population. Acquired thrombophilia.This is when yourliver,kidney,...

Introduction: Thrombophilia is a hemostatic disorder that defined as a tendency to thrombosis. It can be hereditary and acquired. Hereditary thrombophilia is responsible for approximately 40% of all thrombotic events. Case Report: Factor v Leiden mutation is the most common hereditary disorder in patie...
The patient's genomic DNA was negative for the factor V Leiden mutation. Analysis of the grafted liver DNA showed that the donor was a heterozygous carrier of the factor V Leiden mutation and that the recipient's activated protein C resistance was acquired through the transplantation. Screening ...
The conventional procedures for mutation analyses were as follows: the factor V Leiden mutation was detected by PCR followed by MnII restriction analysis and 3% Wide Range agarose electrophoresis as described (4); the prothrombin mutation was detected by the method of Poort et al. Rapid single-tu...
The association of factor V leiden mutation with recurrent pregnancy loss Kolte expressed frustration at providing the best care for these patients, observing that there is a severe lack of understanding of the pathophysiology of recurrent pregnancy loss and no evidence-based treatment for the majority...
It wasn’t until she developed a life-threatening pulmonary embolism that she learned she had a gene mutation called Factor V Leiden, which raises the risk for dangerous blood clots. “Even though the gene is somewhat common, it isn’t regularly tested for,” she says. The lesson? Know yo...
