Thrombin generation in plasmas containing FVR2 and/or FVLeiden. Thrombin generation after extrinsic activation of plasma in the absence (filled symbols) and presence (open symbols) of 5 nM APC was measured as described in “Materials and methods.” (A) Normal pooled plasma. (B) Plasma of an FVR2-homozygous individual. (C) FVLeiden-heterozygous plasma obtained by pooling plasma from 2 unrelated FVLeiden-heterozygous individuals. (D) Simulated FVLeiden/FVR2-doubly heterozygous plasma obtained by mixing plasma from an FVLeiden-homozygous individual and from an FVR2-homozygous individual in equal proportions.
