APCR (Activated Protein C Resistance) is a condition where the person's blood is resistant to the anticoagulant effects of protein C, resulting in an increased risk of developing blood clots. The most common cause of APCR is the presence of Factor V Leiden mutation. Therefore, a positive APCR screening indicates a high probability of having Factor V Leiden mutation.
