Scientific name: Prothrombin Gene Mutation Test

The prothrombin mutation test is a genetic analysis used to detect mutations in the prothrombin (F2) gene, which is responsible for producing prothrombin, an essential protein in the blood clotting process. These mutations can increase the risk of excessive clotting conditions, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism. The test is...
