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 t...
