I want to conduct an epidemiological study to assess the association between the Factor V Leiden mutation in females who experience blood clots while on birth control, since Factor V Leiden mutations cause hyperclotting due to blockage of protein C, an anticoagulant, and the warnings put out by Ortho Evra (aka "The Patch") that their pharmaceutical has been associated with an excess of serious blood clots.
That is all.

How frequently does Factor V Leiden mutation show up in the female population?
Probably between 1 - 4% in females depending on the population... That's an estimation.
