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 ...

In factor V Leiden, a G1691A nucleotide replacement results in an R506Q amino acid mutation. Factor V Leiden increases the risk of venous thrombosis by two known mechanisms. First, activated protein C normally inactivates factor Va by cleaving the cofactor at Arg 306, Arg 506, and Arg 679. [24] The factor V Leiden mutation at Arg 506 renders ...

Deficiencies in the anticoagulants Protein C and Protein S further increase the risk five- to tenfold. [2] Behind non-O blood type [7] and factor V Leiden, prothrombin G20210A is one of the most common genetic risk factors for venous thromboembolism. [4] Increased production of prothrombin heightens the risk of blood clotting.

The best known and most common hereditary form is Factor V Leiden, which is responsible for more than 95% of cases. [5] Other genetic causes include Factor V Cambridge (VThr306) and the factor V HR2 haplotype (A4070G mutation). [5] [6] Acquired forms of APC resistance occur in the presence of elevated Factor VIII concentrations.
Factor V Leiden is responsible for 8% of cases. [2] Other less common inherited disorders leading to the condition include factor II mutation (3%), protein C deficiency (5%), protein S deficiency (4%), and antithrombin III deficiency(1%). [2] [14] Budd–Chiari syndrome may be the presenting sign of these hypercoagulable disorders.
