Factor – II (Prothrombin ) Mutation detection, blood

Description

The Factor II (Prothrombin) Mutation detection test identifies a specific genetic mutation in the prothrombin gene. This mutation is associated with an increased risk of developing blood clots (thrombosis). It’s an important test for diagnosing inherited thrombophilia, a condition that predisposes individuals to blood clots. The test is often performed on patients with a history of unexplained blood clots or a family history of thrombosis. Results help in assessing the risk of future clotting events and guide decisions about preventive measures or long-term anticoagulation therapy.
