  2. Factor V Leiden - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_V_Leiden

    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.

    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.

    The defect was called factor V Leiden, as genetic abnormalities are typically named after the place where they are discovered. [51] Two years later, the same group described a common mutation in the prothrombin gene that caused elevation of prothrombin levels and a mild increase in thrombosis risk. [4] [5] [52]

    There, Arg 506 is replaced with Gln, producing Factor V Leiden. This mutation is also called a R506Q. [16]: 2382 The mutation leading to the loss of this cleavage site actually stops APC from effectively inactivating both Factor V a and Factor VIII a. Thus, the person's blood clots too readily, and he is perpetually at an increased risk for ...

    The following is a list of genetic disorders and if known, type of mutation and for the chromosome involved. Although the parlance "disease-causing gene" is common, it is the occurrence of an abnormality in the parents that causes the impairment to develop within the child. There are over 6,000 known genetic disorders in humans.
