Factor V Leiden: an overview.

Abstract excerpt

This paper provides an update and an overview of factor V Leiden, an inherited condition, which predisposes affected individuals to thrombosis. Factor V Leiden occurs due to a single point mutation on chromosome one. Tests for factor V Leiden include screening for activated protein C (APC) resistance, and if positive, testing for the Factor V Leiden mutation.
