Fast Facts - Join the Fight

  • Most people have never heard of Factor V Leiden.
  • A lot of people carry the genetic mutation and a few people develop blood clots that are related to Factor V Leiden.
  • Do you know someone who has suffered a deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or other type of venous blood clot? In many cases, those blood clots were caused by issues relating to Factor V Leiden.
  • A large number of people live every day with complications caused by blood clots.
  • Sadly, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 274 people die each day or over 100,000 each year as a result of blood clots.
  • If the person had known they carried the Factor V Leiden gene mutation, in many cases some very simple steps taken beforehand may have saved their life.
