A whole host of personal traits are determined in part by your DNA. One of these is potentially abnormal blood clotting. There are certain (rare) mutations that increase the risk of thrombophilia (abnormal blood clotting), making it more likely that you will develop a thrombosis.

Thrombophilia and heredity
To date a number of genes have been proven to play a role in regulating blood clotting, such as the F2 and F5 genes. Mutations in these genes can disrupt the blood clotting process and increase the risk of thrombophilia. On the basis of your DNA it is therefore possible to predict your personal predisposition to thrombophilia.
