What is the rs6025 variant?

rs6025 is a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the F5 (Coagulation Factor V) gene. It belongs to the Coagulation category and is part of the Coagulation & Microcirculation biological cluster. F5 encodes coagulation factor V, a critical cofactor in the prothrombinase complex; the Factor V Leiden variant causes activated protein C resistance.

Biological role and pathway

This variant sits within the F5 gene, which is involved in the coagulation cascade pathway. Genes within the Coagulation & Microcirculation cluster work together to maintain balanced function across interconnected biological systems.

Variants in genes within this pathway may influence an individual's predisposition to altered function — particularly under conditions of physiological stress such as viral infection or prolonged illness.

rs6025 and Long COVID / ME-CFS research

F5 variants including Factor V Leiden may contribute to microclot formation and hypercoagulability associated with Long COVID vascular pathology.

Genetic insights from DNA data

Consumer DNA files from 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and MyHeritage contain raw SNP data. When you upload your file to ChronicDNA, the analysis engine checks your genotype against a curated panel of 80+ genes selected for their relevance to Long COVID, ME/CFS, and connected biological pathways - some of which may include F5 and the rs6025 variant.

The report is educational - it explains which variants you carry, what the research says about them, and how they fit into the biological pathways most relevant to chronic illness. Results are presented in plain English with appropriate scientific context, no medical jargon, no scare tactics. All results should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.

Frequently asked questions

What is the rs6025 variant in the F5 gene?

rs6025 is a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) located in the F5 (Coagulation Factor V) gene, which is involved in coagulation cascade. F5 encodes coagulation factor V, a critical cofactor in the prothrombinase complex; the Factor V Leiden variant causes activated protein C resistance.

How may the rs6025 variant relate to Long COVID or ME/CFS?

F5 variants including Factor V Leiden may contribute to microclot formation and hypercoagulability associated with Long COVID vascular pathology.

Can a consumer DNA test detect the rs6025 variant?

Many consumer DNA tests such as 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and MyHeritage genotype common SNPs. ChronicDNA analyses your raw DNA file and reports on variants studied in relation to chronic illness, immune function, and metabolism.
