Factor II (Prothrombin) G20210A Mutation Analysis

Contributes to the risk assessment for venous thromboembolis thromboembolism (VTE) to better inform decisions regarding treatment and clinical management decisions of patients with relevant personal history of VTE and potential preventative care for patients with significant family history of VTE.

Variant analyzed: c.*97G>A, previously referred to as G20210A. Results must be combined with clinical information for the most accurate interpretation. Molecular-based testing is highly accurate, but as in any laboratory test, diagnostic errors may occur. False positive or false negative results may occur for reasons that include genetic variants, blood transfusions, bone marrow transplantation, somatic or tissue-specific mosaicism, mislabeled samples, or erroneous representation of family relationships.

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Labcorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
