## Background: Activated protein c (apc) resistance is the most frequently diagnosed heritable thrombophilic defect predisposing to thrombosis. ## Objectives: To determine the prevalence of apc resistance due to factor v leiden mutation in patients with leg ulcers. ## Methods: Within a 2-year-p
Hereditary predisposition to thrombosis due to activated protein C resistance (APCR) has been attributed to a missense mutation in the factor V gene at nucleotide 1691 (G to A), causing replacement of arginine at codon 506 with glutamine. Using an RFLP-PCR assay to detect this mutation, we measured
