Thank you for that detailed response. I have Factor V and Homozygous for it. It was shocking that both my parents had the gene.

Hi, @swright9. It’s interesting that both of your parents had the Factor V Leiden gene mutation. It’s an inherited condition that can increase the risk for developing blood clots. Inheriting the trait from both sides, that significantly increases your risk. I’m happy to read that you’re ahead of the game with taking blood thinners and keeping active.

Did your parents ever have any clotting issues?
