Genes tested: Factor V Leiden, Factor II Prothrombin, and PAI-1 (SERPINE1)
Blood clotting is a natural condition that is very healthy in wound healing. However, a section of the population carry genetic mutations that highly increases the tendency of their blood to clot. This increased clotting can increase the risk of blocks similar to those in heart attack, stroke, and pregnancy complications. These people also frequently experience emergency conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism, and other venous thrombotic diseases.
