Description
Thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot in a blood vessel that obstructs blood flow through the circulatory system. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which frequently occurs in the leg, is the most common type of venous thrombosis. Symptoms of DVT in the affected region include pain, swelling, redness, and warmth.
If you suspect you have DVT, it is critical to seek medical attention as soon as possible, as the clot may detach and travel to other parts of the body.
Every year, more people die from a blood-clotting problem than from breast cancer and HIV combined. A straightforward mouth swab is all that is necessary to determine your risk using this DNA test.

Technical Info
The thrombotic risk test analyzes genetic alterations in three genes, each of which increases the risk of thrombosis.
Variants tested:
- F5: the Factor V Leiden mutation (1691G>A)
- F2: the prothrombin mutation (20210G>A)
- MTHFR: two mutations (677C>T and 1298A>C)
As we inherit two copies of each gene from each parent, we may inherit two normal copies of a gene (homozygous normal), two copies carrying a genetic mutation (homozygous mutant), or one normal and one mutated copy (heterozygous). This indicates that we may inherit various combinations of the F5, F2, and MTHFR genes, each of which is linked to a distinct risk of thrombophilia.
