## BACKGROUND. Thromboembolic events are well recognized complications of can-
To determine the prevalence of activated protein C resistance and the factor V Leiden mutation (position 1691, arginine 506 to glutamine substitution) in children with thrombosis, plasma samples from children with thrombosis were tested for activated protein C resistance. DNA was analyzed for the fa
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
