Abstract excerpt
The Coagulation and Molecular Diagnostic laboratories at the University of Minnesota Medical School (Minneapolis) have collaborated to develop a diagnostic algorithm to identify all factor VLeiden mutation carriers without performing unnecessary and expensive genetic testing. The algorithm uses a coagulation assay for activated protein C resistance (APCR) to determine the need for genetic testing. We report the...
