Thrombophilia is a condition where the blood has an increased tendency to form clots. A blood clot within a vein is known as venous thrombus

The treatment for thrombophilia depends on the type of thrombophilia and the risk of forming blood clots. The objective of the treatment is to alleviate

People with inherited or acquired thrombophilia are normally asymptomatic until blood clots forms. Therefore, if there is any family history, personal medical history, or pregnancy

People with thrombophilia have a higher tendency to form blood clots, hence they should adapt a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet and regular

There are numerous risk factors that can contribute to the chance of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Some risk factors are inherited and cannot be

People with thrombophilia are usually asymptomatic unless a blood clot forms. Blood clots slow down or block the flow of blood and oxygen to the

This laboratory offers genetic testing for the most common mutations that cause an increased risk of abnormal blood clotting. These mutations occur in the F2, F5 and MTHFR genes.

The thrombotic risk DNA test looks at variants in three genes: F5, F2 and MTHFR. Below is a description of how to interpret your results for these individual genes.

The thrombotic risk DNA panel identifies the presence or absence of the following mutations which are associated with an increased risk for thrombophilia:
