genetic test result meaning

My daughter recently had a genetic workup for blood clotting disorders.

She is Heterozygous for Factor V Leiden and also has low Free Protein S. I understand these two conditions but I do not know what these others genetic factors mean if anything.

She is heterozygous for 4G/5G  and Homozygous for HPA-la gene and does not possess the mutation T to C at position 1565 on either copy.

Thanks for your help

Unfortunately, we cannot determine which genes you are referring to with the above information with the exception of the HPA-1a gene, not typicallyassociated with blood clotting. We recommend that your daughter discuss all of her results with her physician.

A consultation with a genetic counselor may also be beneficial. You can find a genetic counselor through the National Society of Genetic Counselors website or through companies like mine, AccessDNA. We wish your family the best.
