Factor V Leiden (G1691A) Mutation Detection, Qualitative PCR Test in UAE | 800 AED
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
This ISO-certified test confirms the presence of the Factor V Leiden mutation with >99.9% diagnostic sensitivity using Real-Time PCR, supporting diagnosis of inherited thrombophilia. The service includes hospital-grade home collection, 24-hour telephonic results, and complimentary post-test clinical guidance by DHA-licensed hematologists.
Test Overview & Methodology
The Factor V Leiden Mutation Detection test identifies the G1691A point mutation in the F5 gene using high-fidelity Real-Time PCR, definitively diagnosing activated protein C resistance—the most common inherited thrombophilia. This genetic test is essential for evaluating unexplained deep vein thrombosis, recurrent miscarriage, or family history of thrombophilia.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As a clinical geneticist, I understand the anxiety surrounding thrombophilia testing. This precise DNA-based approach provides clarity, yet a positive result must never be interpreted in isolation—it requires correlation with personal and family medical history to design a safe, individualized management plan. I strongly urge patients to discuss all findings with a DHA-licensed hematologist before making any treatment decisions.”

⚠️ Medication Advisory
Do not discontinue prescribed anticoagulants without consulting your doctor
Abrupt cessation can precipitate life-threatening thromboembolic events. Always review medication changes with your prescribing physician.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Current acute venous thromboembolism requiring immediate medical intervention.
- Recent (<48 hours) administration of thrombolytic therapy.
- If you experience sudden chest pain, shortness of breath, or leg swelling, seek emergency care immediately—do not wait for test results.
- Uncontrolled active bleeding.
Clinical safety and patient consent follow Federal Decree-Law No. 4 of 2016 on Medical Liability.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive Factor V Leiden test mean for my health?
A positive result indicates you carry one or two copies of the G1691A mutation, increasing your lifetime risk of venous thrombosis by 3- to 7-fold compared to non-carriers. However, many carriers never develop a clot, especially in the absence of additional risk factors (surgery, prolonged immobility, pregnancy). A DHA-licensed hematologist will review your overall risk profile and may recommend preventive measures.
2. Is fasting required before the Factor V Leiden blood draw?
No fasting is needed; you may eat and drink normally before the whole blood collection. The PCR test analyzes DNA, which is not influenced by recent meals. Simply bring your Emirates ID and any prior clotting test reports for the phlebotomist’s reference.
3. How quickly will I receive my Factor V Leiden results?
Results are available by phone in 24 hours; a detailed formal report is sent by email within 36 hours. Urgent clinical interpretation can be arranged via WhatsApp +971 54 548 8731 with direct physician callback.
