Genetic Testing for Thrombophilia-Related Genes: Observations of Testing Patterns for Factor V Leiden (G1691A) and Prothrombin Gene “Mutation” (G20210A)

Abstract excerpt

Thrombophilia is a generic term that defines an increased propensity toward thrombosis and associated morbidity. Factor V Leiden (FVL; G1691A) and the prothrombin gene mutation (PGM; G20210A) comprise the most common genetic associations with thrombosis, and thus comprise the most commonly requested genetic thrombophilia investigations. This report describes an audit of local test findings that suggests growing...
