Methodology
RT-PCR (Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction) / PCR
The Molecular Genetic Factor V (Leiden) Mutation Assay utilizes PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology (and sometimes specifically RT-PCR if RNA is extracted first, though typically DNA is used for this gene mutation). This advanced molecular technique is used to detect the specific G1691A point mutation in the Factor V gene, which is responsible for Factor V Leiden thrombophilia. PCR works by amplifying a very specific segment of the patient's DNA (extracted from the whole blood sample). Once amplified, the presence or absence of the Factor V Leiden mutation is identified using various detection methods, such as restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis or direct sequencing. This method offers high sensitivity and specificity for accurate genetic diagnosis.
Sample Required
WB EDTA Whole Blood (WB) in EDTA Vacutainer
(A sample of whole blood collected in an EDTA vacutainer is required for this test. EDTA acts as an anticoagulant to preserve the blood sample for DNA extraction.)
