Laboratory examinations

Laboratory examinations - genetic analyses

Molecular genetic examinations serve to prove the genetic correlate of diseases or the detection of risk-associated genetic changes. In coagulation patients, the detection of gene mutations and genetic polymorphisms is of great importance for assessing the risk of thrombosis and abortion and for the detection and further characterization of coagulation disorders with an increased risk of bleeding.

We are currently carrying out the following molecular genetic examinations in our facility (as of 06/2020):

• Detection of the factor V Leiden mutation (factor V G1691A) as an important thrombophilic risk factor

• Detection of the prothrombin mutation (factor II G20210A) as an important thrombophilic risk factor

We currently do not carry out other molecular genetic examinations ourselves, but forward them to specialized laboratories if necessary.
