background: thrombophilia is a main predisposition to thrombosis due to a procoagulant state. several point mutations play key roles in blood-clotting disorders, which are grouped under the term thrombophilia. these thrombophilic mutations are methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (mthfr, c677t, and a1298c), factor v leiden (g1691a), prothrombin gene mutation (factor ii, g20210a), and plasminogen...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Factor V HR2 possesses decreased co-factor activity to activated protein C and an increased ratio of factor V1 to factor V2. Factor V HR2 is associated with a mild increase in the risk of venous thromboembolism although not all studies concur on this point. DESIGN AND METHODS Inconsistencies in results of the epidemiological studies may stem from a failure to identif...

Human oxalated plasma stored at 4 degrees C. until the prothrombin time is increased beyond 60 sec. is a reliable medium for assaying labile factor (factor V) because its response to added labile factor corresponds quantitatively to that of plasma from patients with congenital deficiency of this factor. Such an agreement is not obtained with plasma stored at 37 degrees C. The stability of labil...
