Understanding Your Results
Negative
No Factor V Leiden mutation detected. Standard risk for thrombosis.
Action: Maintain healthy lifestyle. Consult doctor if symptoms occur.
Positive (Heterozygous)
One copy of the mutation detected. Increased risk for blood clots.
Action: Genetic counseling recommended. Discuss preventive measures with doctor.
Positive (Homozygous)
Two copies of the mutation detected. Significantly higher risk for thrombosis.
Action: Immediate medical consultation required for management planning.
If you experience symptoms such as leg pain, swelling, shortness of breath, or chest pain, or if you have a positive test result, consult a hematologist or genetic counselor immediately.
Limitations
- ⚠This test only detects Factor V Leiden mutation; other genetic or acquired risk factors for thrombosis are not assessed.
- ⚠Clinical correlation is necessary for interpretation.
Risks & Considerations
- ●Minor bruising or soreness at the puncture site
- ●Rare risk of infection
- ●Fainting in some individuals
Interfering Factors
