Abstract excerpt
The prevalence of a new hereditary defect in the protein C anticoagulant pathway, the factor V-Leiden, has been reported to range between 20% to 60% in familial thrombophilia. In addition to differences in patient groups, these very divergent numbers might also be due to the detection method applied. In most studies a modified APTT was used, where activated protein C (APC) is added simultaneously with the start...
