Thrombophilia Panel

The Thrombophilia Panel analyzes genes that are associated with hereditary thrombophilia. Hereditary thrombophilia is characterized by increased clotting tendency and increased risk for deep venous thrombosis and/or venous thromboembolism. This test does not include full sequencing for the F2 and F5 genes and only specific variants associated with prothrombin-related thrombophilia and factor V Leiden-related thrombophilia are analyzed. Given the clinical overlap between these conditions, comprehensive testing enables a more efficient evaluation of multiple conditions based on a single indication for testing. This test may establish a genetic diagnosis, which would eliminate the need for serial gene testing. A genetic diagnosis may guide medical management, enabling a clinician to determine the need for additional evaluations, screenings, and procedures.
