<<Apparently there is an inherited factor Va mutation that is present in 5% of the population. This defect results in continued coagulation due to inability for activated protein C to inactivate factor V. A genetic test can now be performed for this coagulation problem.>>

So, Geff, if your lady with the PE has this problem, are you going to offer her amniocentesis or funipuncture for fetal diagnosis? LOL

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
