Two patients from two unrelated families with a history of thrombosis showed severe plasma activated protein C (APC) resistance. However, genotypic analysis demonstrated that the patients were heterozygous for factor V (FV) Leiden mutation. Coagulation studies revealed that FV clotting activity and antigen were similarly reduced at about 50% of normal in the patients. One brother of propositus A also showed the...
