Factor V Leiden Mutation
Does anyone know much about this? My mum has foudn out that she has it (she doesnt know if she has the hetero or homo type) and that apparently means there is a 50% chance I could have it - I have to have a blood test next week.
I have read up a lot on it today on the net, I know that it is to do with blood clots, but most of what I could find was technical medical data and stuff, if anyone knows, please could someone explain to me in layman's terms what it means, and how worried I should be?
