Genetics
Certain genetic factors can increase the risk of deep vein thrombosis. In fact, around 60 percent of the reported cases are related to a genetic blood clot condition. For instance, those people with factor V Leiden thrombophilia have a particular gene mutation, which would increase the risk. Another inherited blood clot issue is factor II or prothrombin 20210 mutation. Prothrombin is a type of protein that aids in coagulation. If you have a family member with these genetic factors, then you should have regular health checks to detect the conditions early. [6]
