A common cause of hereditary thrombophilia is activated protein C resistance (APCR), and most cases result from factor V Leiden mutation. An APCR phenotype without association with factor V Leiden has been described. This transversal, observational, nonrandomized study evaluated these 2 phenomena in healthy indigenous and mestizo Mexican subjects (n = 4345), including 600 Mexican natives. No indigenous subjects had APCR, but 82 mestizo subjects did. After retesting, 50 subjects had a negative test. The remaining 32 subjects had factor V Leiden, giving a 0.85% prevalence of factor V Leiden in the mestizo Mexican population. Only 31% of APCR carriers had factor V Leiden. These results show a very low prevalence of APCR and factor V Leiden in Mexico. Except for factor V Leiden, there are no other mutations in the factor V gene responsible for the APCR phenotype. Acquired APCR is nearly twice as prevalent as the inherited variant.
