Factor V Leiden PCR Test | Lahalak Medical Platform
Advanced molecular analysis detecting a genetic mutation that increases blood clot risk, helping assess hereditary predisposition and guide lifelong preventative measures.
Scientific name: Factor V Leiden Mutation Test by PCR
Factor V Leiden mutation testing by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a molecular genetic analysis that detects a specific point mutation (adenine-guanine substitution at position 1691) in the factor V (F5) gene. This mutation produces an abnormal protein (Factor V Leiden) that resists inhibition by activated C protein, leading to hypercoagulabili...
