What Is a Thrombophilia Panel?
A thrombophilia panel is a comprehensive test package that examines multiple genetic mutations in a single run.
Panel Content
A thrombophilia panel typically examines:
- Factor V Leiden mutation
- Prothrombin G20210A mutation
- MTHFR C677T and A1298C mutations
- PAI-1 (4G/5G polymorphism)
- Factor XIII V34L mutation
- ACE I/D polymorphism
- Beta Fibrinogen -455 G>A
- HPA-1 a/b polymorphism
Why Prefer a Panel?
Looking at a single mutation may not fully assess the risk. A panel addresses all risk factors together for a more comprehensive evaluation.
Interpretation of Results
Panel results are evaluated by specialist physicians together with clinical findings. When necessary, measures such as blood-thinning treatment or aspirin can be taken.
