  2. Prothrombin G20210A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prothrombin_G20210A

    It is due to a specific gene mutation in which a guanine is changed to an adenine at position 20210 of the DNA of the prothrombin gene. Other blood clotting pathway mutations that increase the risk of clots include factor V Leiden. Prothrombin G20210A was identified in the 1990s. [2]

  3. Hyperprothrombinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperprothrombinemia

    Hyperprothrombinemia is a state of high of prothrombin levels in the blood [1] which leads to hypercoagulability. An example of a genetic cause includes the mutation prothrombin G20210A. [2] Hyperprothrombinemia is a risk factor for venous thromboembolism. [2]

  4. Thrombophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombophilia

    [14] [15] The most common ones are factor V Leiden (a mutation in the F5 gene at position 1691) and prothrombin G20210A, a mutation in prothrombin (at position 20210 in the 3' untranslated region of the gene). [1] [16] Compound heterozygotes and homozygotes, while rare, are at significant risk of thrombosis. [13]

  5. von Willebrand disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Willebrand_disease

    Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common hereditary blood-clotting disorder in humans. An acquired form can sometimes result from other medical conditions. [1] It arises from a deficiency in the quality or quantity of von Willebrand factor (VWF), a multimeric protein that is required for platelet adhesion.

  6. Activated protein C resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_protein_C_resistance

    Activated protein C resistance (APCR) is a hypercoagulability (an increased tendency of the blood to clot) characterized by a lack of a response to activated protein C (APC), which normally helps prevent blood from clotting excessively.

  7. Dysfibrinogenemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysfibrinogenemia

    It gives: a) the mutated protein's trivial name; b) the gene mutated (i.e. FGA, FGB, or FGG), its mutation site (i.e. numbered nucleotide in the cloned gene), and the names of the nucleotides (i.e. C, T, A, G) at these sites before>after the mutation; c) the altered fibrinogen peptide (Aα, Bβ, or λ) and the amino acids (using standard ...

    Most of these symptoms may be mistaken for seasonal illness or the flu — but the quickest way to determine whether or not you have been impacted is to seek out a rapid COVID-19 test. The bottom line

  9. Hypoprothrombinemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoprothrombinemia

    Hypoprothrombinemia can be the result of a genetic defect, may be acquired as the result of another disease process, or may be an adverse effect of medication.For example, 5-10% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus exhibit acquired hypoprothrombinemia due to the presence of autoantibodies which bind to prothrombin and remove it from the bloodstream (lupus anticoagulant ...
