Abstract excerpt
The G1691A (Leiden) mutation of the factor V gene is the most prevalent identified cause of venous thrombosis. Therefore, we developed a new genetic test using the TaqMan system. With this assay which combines PCR amplification and detection reaction in one closed tube, a cohort of 234 patients with a history of thrombosis was screened. In parallel, amplification products of the same patients were screened with a...
