My husband was diagnosed with Leiden Factor V years ago. He is on coumadin and has monthly blood draws to determine his levels and whether or not his meds need to be adjusted.

Since this is genetic, the original doc also strongly suggested that any children or siblings also be tested.

Has he ever looked at the self-administered tests?
