Abstract excerpt
Resistance to activated protein C is the most common hereditary cause of thrombophilia and is significantly linked to factor V Leiden. We designed primers in order to identify factor V Leiden by allele-specific PCR amplification. Amplification specificity for factor V was ensured by a 3' primer l...
