Thrombocheck DNA

What is THROMBOCHECK DNA test?

The Thrombocheck DNA test is a molecular genetic test that detects specific gene mutations associated with hereditary thrombophilia — a condition that increases the tendency of blood to clot abnormally. Thrombocheck DNA test identifies key genetic variants that can disrupt normal blood coagulation and elevate the risk of venous or arterial thrombosis.

Parameter Covered: FACTOR V MUTATION DETECTION, MTHFR GENE MUTATION, FACTOR II (PROTHROMBIN) MUTATION DETECTION

Why consider THROMBOCHECK DNA test?

Thrombocheck DNA test can be recommended for

• Identifying inherited thrombophilia in patients with unexplained or recurrent blood clots.
• Assessing genetic risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), or stroke.
• Evaluating familial or hereditary causes of clotting disorders.
• Determining genetic risk before major surgery, pregnancy, or hormone therapy.
• Providing preventive and personalized medical guidance for individuals and families with a history of thrombosis.

Who should get tested for THROMBOCHECK DNA test?

Thrombocheck DNA test is recommended for individuals who:

• Have a personal or family history of venous thromboembolism (VTE), DVT, or PE.
• Have experienced early-onset stroke, heart attack, or clotting events without traditional risk factors.
• Women with recurrent miscarriages or pregnancy complications.
• Have relatives known to carry Factor V Leiden or Prothrombin gene mutations.
• Need risk evaluation before using oral contraceptives, hormone therapy, or during pregnancy.

Thrombophilia is a medical condition in which the blood has an increased tendency to form abnormal clots (thrombi) in veins or arteries. These clots can partially or completely block normal blood flow, leading to serious health problems such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), stroke, or recurrent pregnancy loss. Thrombophilia can be inherited (genetic) or acquired (developed later in life).

Types of Thrombophilia

1. Inherited (Genetic) Thrombophilia: Caused by genetic mutations passed from parents to children.
2. Acquired Thrombophilia: Develops later due to medical conditions or external factors.
