Factor V Leiden Mutation by PCR by PCR/Sanger Test in Indore

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the Factor V Leiden Mutation Test in Indore using PCR/Sanger methodology, a genetic test for assessing the risk of thrombosis or blood clotting.
Overview of the Factor V Leiden Mutation Test by PCR/Sanger
This test looks for the Factor V Leiden mutation, a change in the F5 gene, which can significantly increase the chances of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). VTE is a condition where blood clots form in the veins, leading to serious health issues like blockages in blood flow. The test is especially important for those with history of blood clots or a family history of such issues. It uses a specific allele-specific PCR / Sanger technique to detect this genetic change.
Why and When is the Test Done?
Recommended for:
- Individuals with a history of unexplained blood clots.
- People with a family history of thrombotic events.
- As a preventive measure before surgeries or in situations with increased risk of clotting.
Main Highlights
Instructions: A doctor’s prescription is required.
Recommended Age: Suitable for adults and children.
Sample Type for Test: Blood sample, preferably in an EDTA container or 3.2% Sodium Citrate tube.
TAT: Results are typically available within 5-7 days
FAQs
What does the Factor V Leiden Mutation indicate?
The Factor V Leiden mutation is a genetic change that can make blood clots more likely to form in veins. If you have one copy of this mutation (heterozygous), your risk of developing these clots is about 6 to 8 times higher than usual. If you have two copies (homozygous), the risk is much higher, increasing up to 80 times the average risk. This condition primarily affects the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), a type of clot that can occur in the veins.
What precautions are necessary if you have Factor V Leiden Mutation?
While not all individuals with the mutation require blood-thinning medications, those with a history of abnormal clots or undergoing surgery may need preventive measures such as blood thinners, leg wraps, or compression stockings.
What is the method used to check for the Factor V Leiden mutation?
The PCR/Sanger method used in this test involves two main steps. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is first used to amplify or make many copies of the specific DNA part where the Factor V Leiden mutation might be. This makes it easier to study the DNA in detail. Then, Sanger sequencing, a technique for reading the exact order of DNA bases, is used on this amplified section to check for the mutation. This combination of PCR and Sanger sequencing is a reliable and accurate way to identify genetic changes like the Factor V Leiden mutation.
