A patient presents with a history of recurrent venous thrombosis and is found to have a mutation in the factor V gene. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Explanation
The factor V Leiden mutation is a common cause of inherited thrombophilia, leading to an increased risk of recurrent venous thrombosis. This mutation results in the production of a variant of factor V that is resistant to inactivation by activated protein C.
