The limitations in the originally devised assay for activated protein C resistance led to the development of a modified assay.
Other variations of the activated protein C resistance assay have been developed.
For the first 6 months of life, the reference range for the original assay for activated protein C resistance was found to be higher than in individuals older than 6 months.
