  2. Factor V Leiden - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_V_Leiden

    Factor V Leiden (rs6025 or F5 p.R506Q [1]) is a variant (mutated form) of human factor V (one of several substances that helps blood clot), which causes an increase ...

  3. Activated protein C resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_protein_C_resistance

    APC resistance is the inability of protein C to cleave Factor Va and/or Factor VIIIa, which allows for longer duration of thrombin generation and may lead to a hypercoagulable state. This may be hereditary or acquired. [4] The best known and most common hereditary form is Factor V Leiden, which is responsible for more than 95% of cases. [5]

    [1] [5] This ratio is inversely related to the degree of APC resistance. [7] The ETP-based APC resistance test involves the addition of APC to a thrombin generation assay (TGA). [5] This results in an inhibition of thrombin generation as measured by reduction of the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP; area under the thrombin generation curve). [5]

    There, Arg 506 is replaced with Gln, producing Factor V Leiden. This mutation is also called a R506Q. [16]: 2382 The mutation leading to the loss of this cleavage site actually stops APC from effectively inactivating both Factor V a and Factor VIII a. Thus, the person's blood clots too readily, and he is perpetually at an increased risk for ...

    After introducing medically assisted treatment in 2013, Seppala saw Hazelden’s dropout rate for opiate addicts in the new revamped program drop dramatically. Current data, which covers between January 1, 2013 and July 1, 2014, shows a dropout rate of 7.5 percent compared with the rate of 22 percent for the opioid addicts not in the program.

    As such, family history of VTE is a risk factor for a first VTE. [88] Factor V Leiden, which makes factor V resistant to inactivation by activated protein C, [88] mildly increases VTE risk by about three times. [14] [88] Deficiencies of three proteins that normally prevent blood from clotting—protein C, protein S, and antithrombin ...
