  2. Hypercoagulability in pregnancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Hypercoagulability_in_pregnancy

    Pregnancy itself is a factor of hypercoagulability (pregnancy-induced hypercoagulability), as a physiologically adaptive mechanism to prevent post partum bleeding. [1] However, when combined with an additional underlying hypercoagulable states, the risk of thrombosis or embolism may become substantial.

  3. Factor V Leiden - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_V_Leiden

    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. The gene that codes the protein is referred to as F5.

    The combination activates factor X to factor Xa and factor IX to factor IXa. Factor Xa (in the presence of factor V ) activates prothrombin into thrombin. Thrombin is a central enzyme in the coagulation process: it generates fibrin from fibrinogen , and activates a number of other enzymes and cofactors ( factor XIII , factor XI , factor V and ...

    [2] [5] [4] [13] [14] However, the aPTT-based APC resistance test is much less sensitive to the procoagulatory effects of estrogens than is the ETP-based test. [13] [14] [5] [4] [2] [15] Pregnancy [7] and ethinylestradiol (EE)-containing combined birth control pills increase APC resistance as measured by either the aPTT- or ETP-based test.

    Human Chr 3. In terms of the cause of protein S deficiency it can be in inherited via autosomal dominance.A mutation in the PROS1 gene triggers the condition. The cytogenetic location of the gene in question is chromosome 3, specifically 3q11.1 [6] [7] Protein S deficiency can also be acquired due to vitamin K deficiency, treatment with warfarin, liver disease, kidney disease, chemotherapy ...
