protein c deficiency/プロリン

Thrombotic accidents in the newborn, particularly cerebrovascular accidents, are reported in case of abnormalities in the coagulation system and rarely in heterozygous protein C deficiency; a low protein C level could be either physiological or acquired. METHODS Two cases of heterozygous protein C

This report describes five families with symptomatic hereditary protein C deficiency. Using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method, the entire coding sequence and intron-exon boundaries of the protein C gene was amplified from genomic DNA. In each family a single point mutation in the

We analyzed the genetic defects of 21 unrelated patients with venous thrombosis in whom hereditary protein C deficiency was diagnosed. Eleven mutations were detected in 18 families, while no mutation was detectable in the other three families. Among these mutations, a common genetic mutation of
