Factor V Leiden (rs6025 or F5 p.R506Q [1]) is a variant (mutated form) ... Having a history of unexplained pregnancy loss in the second or third trimester.
Hypercoagulability in pregnancy is the propensity of pregnant women to develop thrombosis (blood clots). Pregnancy itself is a factor of hypercoagulability (pregnancy-induced hypercoagulability), as a physiologically adaptive mechanism to prevent post partum bleeding . [ 1 ]
Factor V Leiden is an inherited blood clotting disorder. It can cause life-threatening clots in the body and complications during pregnancy.
The exact prevalence of protein S deficiency in the population is unknown; it is found 1.3–5% of people with thrombosis. [14] 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.
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]

[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.

Antithrombin III deficiency (abbreviated ATIII deficiency) is a deficiency of antithrombin III. This deficiency may be inherited or acquired. [ 1 ] It is a rare hereditary disorder that generally comes to light when a patient suffers recurrent venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism , and repetitive intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). [ 2 ]
