Factor V Leiden (FVL), an inherited thrombophilia, is the most common genetic risk factor for venous thrombosis. The FVL mutation is a G>A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the Factor V gene resulting in an arginine to glutamine (R506Q) amino acid change. This causes the protein to resist degradation, which disrupts the natural anticoagulant system.
