Abstract excerpt
Activated protein C (APC) resistance is a common risk factor for venous thromboembolism (VTE) attributed to various mechanisms, including factor V Leiden (FVL) polymorphism. FVL is considered responsible for up to 95% of APC resistance; however, other factor V polymorphisms and elevated factor VIII levels also have been implicated. We assessed whether additional mechanisms contribute to APC resistance in a...
