A member asked:
My father has factor v leiden, does that mean i also have it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is he homozygous?: If your father is homozygous for factor v leiden, then you are at least a carrier or heterozygous. Even heterozygous people have about five fold greater risk of thrombosis. If he is heterozygous then you have a 50% chance of being heterozygous.
