Order Name F5DNA Factor V Leiden (R506Q) Mutation, Blood

Important Note

*This test is orderable in Cerner as Factor V Leiden Mutation, WB MAYO


Ordering Guidance


This assay will only detect the F5 c.1601G>A; p.Arg534Gln (rs6025) variant associated with factor V Leiden thrombophilia. To detect other pathogenic alterations in the F5 gene of a patient with a laboratory diagnosis of coagulation factor V deficiency, order F5NGS / F5 Gene Next Generation Sequencing, Varies.

 

This assay will not will not detect alterations in individuals with activated protein C (APC)-resistance caused by mechanisms other than the F5:c.1601G>A, p.Arg534Gln variant. Coagulation-based activated protein C (APC)-resistance ratio (mixing with factor V-deficient plasma) is recommended as the initial screening assay for APC-resistance. Depending on the assay system, the APC-resistance ratio may be indeterminate for patients with a lupus anticoagulant or extremely high heparin levels. For more information, see APCRV / Activated Protein C Resistance V (APCRV), Plasma or APCRR / Activated Protein C Resistance V (APCRV), with Reflex to Factor V Leiden, Blood and Plasma.
