Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of the Factor V (FV) mutation associated with activated protein C resistance (FV Leiden) and its significance as a genetic risk factor for venous thrombosis have necessitated the development of a simple, rapid, and accurate assay for its detection. The polymerase chain reaction with sequence specific primers (PCR-SSP) provides a powerful technique for the discrimination of alleles resulting from...
