Popis: After the discovery of activated protein C resistance (APCR) due to factor V Leiden mutation and the causal relationship of the phenomenon with clinical thromboembolism, a wide variety of functional clotting-based assays were developed for testing of APCR in relation to the specific DNA-based analysis of FV:Q506 Leiden. The aim of this study is to assess a clotting-based APCR assay using procoagulant crotalidae snake venom with respect to the sensitivity, specificity, and predictability for the presence of the factor V Leiden mutation. APCR testing and factor V DNA analyses have been performed concurrently on 319 patient specimens. APCR values of the patients with homozygous factor V Leiden mutation (70.4±13.5 s) were significantly lower (p506.
