Thrombosis is a condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in a blood vessel, blocking the flow of blood. This can happen in veins or arteries but is more common in veins. There are two main types of thrombosis: deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
DVT typically occurs in the legs and can cause pain, swelling, and redness. If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as post-thrombotic syndrome (chronic pain and swelling).
PE occurs when a blood clot that forms in a vein, usually in the legs, breaks off and travels to the lungs. This can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and rapid breathing. PE can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.

Thrombosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including injury to a blood vessel, prolonged immobility, certain medical conditions such as cancer, pregnancy, and certain medications like hormonal contraceptives. Some individuals are genetically susceptible to thrombosis. Uncover if you are at risk of thrombosis with this DNA test.

What is measured

This test detects variants in three genes associated with an increased risk of thrombosis.

  •  The Factor V Leiden mutation (1691G>A)
  • The prothrombin mutation (20210G>A)
  • Two mutations in MTHFR (677C>T and 1298A>C)

Common risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing thrombosis include:
Genetics: Some people have a genetic predisposition to thrombosis, meaning that they have a higher risk of developing blood clots due to inherited genetic mutations

  • Age: The risk of thrombosis increases as we get older
  • Immobility: Prolonged immobility, such as being bedridden or sitting for long periods of time, can slow blood flow and increase the risk of blood clots
  • Obesity
  • Surgery and trauma
  • Smoking

Some of these risk factors can be modified to reduce your risk of thrombosis.

Yes, your results are 100% confidential. No one will be able to access your account or your results unless you give them your confidential account login. You can change the password to your account at any time. Please remember to safeguard your login information and not share it with anyone.
Testing begins immediately the day that your samples arrive at the laboratory. In some special situations, additional testing may be required, which could increase the turnaround time by a few extra days. You can check the status of your test online 24/7 using your secure account login. Your test report is released immediately once testing is complete.
Drinking or eating will not change the results in any way. The reason that you are not supposed to drink or have anything in the mouth for an extended period prior to collection is to ensure that we have enough buccal cells to complete the test. If there are not enough cells to complete the test, then the results will not be released and a recollection will be required.
Once you have finished your sample collection, place the collection kit box into the prepaid plastic USPS envelope included with the kit, then mail your samples to the laboratory via your mailbox or a local USPS drop box.
