From Gene Mutation to Clot Risk in Factor V Leiden – ICHCC

Iranian Comprehensive Hemophilia Care Center shared a post on LinkedIn:

Factor V Leiden (FVL):

  • is the most common inherited blood clotting disorder in populations of European descent, caused by a mutation in the \(F5\) gene. It makes blood more prone to clotting (thrombophilia) because the mutated Factor V protein resists inactivation by protein C.
  • While most carriers never experience a clot, it significantly increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism.”
