# Factor V Leiden Mutation Analysis

> This test analyzes your DNA to look for a specific genetic change called Factor V Leiden that affects how your blood clots. It helps determine if you have an inherited risk for developing abnormal clots in your veins, such as in your legs or lungs. Doctors use this result to understand the cause of unexplained clots or to guide prevention if you have a family history of clotting issues. However, this test does not diagnose an active blood clot or check for other types of genetic clotting disorders.
