DNA Thrombotic Risk

Blood clots are painful and can be life-threatening. Do you carry genetic variants that increase the likelihood of developing blood clots?
What is thrombosis?
Thrombosis is when a blood clot forms inside a blood vessel and blocks the flow of blood through the circulatory system. Thrombotic risk refers to the likelihood of forming these dangerous blood clots.

Signs of a blood clot
Many factors contribute towards thrombotic risk, including a lack of mobility, smoking, obesity, surgery or injury, infections and disease, pregnancy, and hormonal changes.
However, “invisible” factors such as genetic changes that affect components of the blood clotting cascade also play a big role in your thrombotic risk.
Factor V Leiden mutation:
Factor V is a protein that promotes blood clotting. When it is not required, it is inactivated by protein C. The factor V Leiden mutation inhibits this inactivation, increasing the risk of abnormal blood clots.
Prothrombin G20210A mutation:
Prothrombin is another protein required for blood clot formation. In individuals carrying the G20210A variant in this gene there is an increase in prothrombin production, leading to an increased risk of abnormal blood clotting.
MTHFR mutations:
The MTHFR gene gives instructions to produce an enzyme involved in the conversion of folic acid to folate, which then helps convert homocysteine to methionine. Two MTHFR variants are linked to elevated homocysteine levels, known as hyperhomocysteinemia. Hyperhomocysteinemia increases the risk of abnormal blood clots.
