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.
Here are the answers to the most frequently asked questions about this test.
Are my results confidential?
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.
How long does the test take?
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.
Would eating or drinking before collecting my DNA affect my results?
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.
How do I ship my samples back to the laboratory?
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. If you wish to monitor the status of your shipment, remember to record the tracking number on the shipping label. You can track the status of your shipment using your tracking number on the USPS website.
Do I have to use the return envelope to send my kits back?
No. You can send the kits back to the laboratory using any shipping method of your choosing. Please be advised that if you do not use the included prepaid return mailer to ship your samples, it is your responsibility to ensure that your samples arrive at the laboratory. We will not be able to provide assistance for shipments that do not use our prepaid return mailer.
