  2. Factor V Leiden - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_V_Leiden

    Factor V Leiden (rs6025 or F5 p.R506Q [1]) is a variant (mutated form) of human factor V (one of several substances that helps blood clot), which causes an increase ...

  3. Thrombophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombophilia

    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. In people with thrombosis, 10% have factor V Leiden. In those who are referred for thrombophilia testing, 30–50% have the defect.

    As such, family history of VTE is a risk factor for a first VTE. [88] Factor V Leiden, which makes factor V resistant to inactivation by activated protein C, [88] mildly increases VTE risk by about three times. [14] [88] Deficiencies of three proteins that normally prevent blood from clotting—protein C, protein S, and antithrombin ...

  6. Activated protein C resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_protein_C_resistance

    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]

  8. Coagulopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulopathy

    Coagulopathy (also called a bleeding disorder) is a condition in which the blood's ability to coagulate (form clots) is impaired. [1] This condition can cause a tendency toward prolonged or excessive bleeding (bleeding diathesis), which may occur spontaneously or following an injury or medical and dental procedures.

  9. Budd–Chiari syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budd–Chiari_syndrome

    Factor V Leiden is responsible for 8% of cases. [2] Other less common inherited disorders leading to the condition include factor II mutation (3%), protein C deficiency (5%), protein S deficiency (4%), and antithrombin III deficiency(1%). [2] [14] Budd–Chiari syndrome may be the presenting sign of these hypercoagulable disorders.
