The plasma from the infant and his m other was found to be resistant to activated protein C and to be heter ozygous for the factor V mutation (FV Leiden) associated with this dis order, The presence of this hereditary disorder should be considered i n infants with thrombosis and in infants with conditions predisposing them to thrombosis.
