Abstract excerpt
The recently described point mutation of nucleotide 1691 of the factor V gene is responsible for the factor V resistance to a cleavage with an activated protein C (APC-resistance). Despite the high sensitivity and specificity of the APC-resistance test as a screening method for the detection of the factor V APC-resistance, there is still a necessity to develop a simple, cheap and accurate DNA-based assay. Herein,...
