Diagnostic Evaluation

cDNA-PCR Assays for Gene Mutations and Polymorphisms

• 4G/5G polymorphism of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 gene (PAI-1)
• Cystathionine beta synthetase (CBS) CBS T833C & G919A
• Factor V Leiden
• Glycoprotein IIIa A1/A2 (platelet glycoprotein)
• Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) MTHFR C677T
• Prothrombin G20210A

Serologic (blood) Tests

• Anticardiolipin antibodies (ACLA) IgG and IgM ACLA
• Antithrombin III
• Factor VIII
• Homocysteine
• Lupus anticoagulant (LA)
• Protein C
• Protein S

Evaluation of Hypofibrinolysis

• 4G/5G polymorphism of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 gene (PAI-1) (requires cDNA-PCR assay for gene mutation)
• Lipoprotein a (Lp a)
