a. G A substitution on nucleotide 20210 of the prothrombin gene
b. Lysine to glutamic acid substitution on the sixth position on the beta globin chain
c. Arginine to glutamine substitution at the 506 position of prothrombin
d. Translocation of chromosome 22 onto the long arm of chromosome 9
Question 2
Why does a patient who had a thrombotic incident receive both heparin and Coumadin for 4-5 days before heparin is discontinued?
a. Heparin is not effective as an anticoagulant without Coumadin.
b. Coumadin requires heparin for its full anticoagulant effect.
c. Coumadin and heparin have a synergistic effect
