Abstract excerpt
Laboratory testing for Factor V Leiden and Prothrombin G20210A genetic variants permits defining the increased relative risk for venous thromboembolism in selected patients. Laboratory DNA testing for these variants may be undertaken by a variety of methods, including fluorescence-based quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR). This is a rapid, simple, robust, and reliable method to identify genotypes of interest. This...
