Pathophysiology of factor V Leiden gene mutation. Factor V Leiden is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that exhibits incomplete penetrance, i.e. not every person who has the mutation develops the disease. The condition results in a factor V variant that cannot be as easily degraded by activated protein C.

Heterozygous factor V Leiden is present in approximately 5% of the white population in the United States and homozygous factor V Leiden is found less than 1% of this population. [27] Factor V Leiden is much more common in individuals of Northern European descent and in some Middle Eastern populations.
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]
The minor ("type 2") thrombophilias are much more common. Factor V Leiden is present in 5% of the population of Northern European descent, but much rarer in those of Asian or African extraction. In people with thrombosis, 10% have factor V Leiden. In those who are referred for thrombophilia testing, 30–50% have the defect.
While most people typically carry about 10 to 15% visceral fat, having more than that can significantly increase the risk of chronic health conditions like heart disease, diabetes and even cancer.
Congenital dysfibrinogenemia is most often caused by a single autosomal dominant missense mutation in the Aα, Bβ, or γ gene; rarely, it is caused by a homozygous or compound heterozygous missense mutation, a deletion, frameshift mutation, insert mutation, or splice site mutation in one of these genes.
