Abstract excerpt
A total of 74 non-pregnant women with a previous episode of thrombosis were investigated for activated protein C (APC) resistance in the aPTT-based and factor IXa-X-based assays and for the presence of mutations in all APC-cleavage sites in the heavy chains of factor V and factor VIII. DNA fragments were amplified with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and those encoding for the Arg-306 and Arg-506 (factor V)...
