As a missense substitution of base G to base A, it changes the proteins amino acid from arginine to glutamine.It has autosomal dominant inheritance and is the most common cause of inherited thrombophilia.Factor V is one of the essential clotting factors in the coagulation cascade.FVL mutation causes activated protein C resistance, hence leading to the hypercoagulable state.It is associated with increased risk of DVT 6, recurrent miscarriages
