F2
Associated conditions:
- Thrombophilia
F2 makes prothrombin, the precursor of thrombin, the protein that triggers blood clotting after injury. Genetic changes in this gene, most often a common variant, are associated with an autosomal dominant overproduction of prothrombin, raising the risk of dangerous clots in the veins and lungs. Knowing your genetic status enables extra care during high-risk times like surgery, pregnancy, or long travel.
Conditions linked to F2
Thrombophilia
Thrombophilia is an inherited tendency to form blood clots more easily than usual. It raises the risk of clots in the legs or lungs, especially around surgery, pregnancy or long travel, so knowing your status guides prevention at higher-risk times.
