Variable plasma levels of Factor V Leiden correlate with circulating platelet microparticles in carriers of Factor V Leiden.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Inheritance of Factor V Leiden (FVL) is associated with an increased but variable level of risk for thrombosis. We have previously shown that FVL heterozygotes have elevated levels of circulating pro-coagulant microparticles (MP). Here we sought to determine if these subjects differed in their plasma levels of FVL and if this was related to MP concentrations and/or history of thrombosis. MATERIALS...
