What is Factor V Leiden Mutation (G1691A), QUALITATIVE?

This test checks for a specific genetic mutation called Factor V Leiden. This mutation makes one of your clotting proteins (Factor V) resistant to a natural anticoagulant, leading to an increased tendency for blood to clot.

Why is this test important?

Identifying the Factor V Leiden mutation is crucial as it's the most common inherited cause of thrombophilia, increasing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). It's often recommended for individuals with a history of unexplained blood clots.
