Abstract excerpt
We compared the performance characteristics of a commercial dilute Russell's viper venom (DRVV)-based APC resistance assay (Gradipore PC Impedance Test) to a routinely utilized commercial APTT based assay (Coatest APC Resistance Assay). The DRVV based assay offers improved sensitivity and specificity for the factor V Leiden mutation. However, the routine use of both assays provides optimum reliability for...
