What is Factor II Prothrombin Mutation (G20210A), QUALITATIVE?

This test checks for a specific genetic change (mutation) in the Factor II gene, also known as the prothrombin gene. Prothrombin is a protein vital for blood clotting, and this mutation can affect how your blood clots.

Why is this test important?

Identifying this mutation is important because it's associated with an increased risk of developing blood clots, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). It helps assess your risk for these conditions, especially if you have a personal or family history of clotting disorders.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
