Abstract excerpt
Sixteen families with inherited protein S deficiency and venous thromboembolism (VT) were screened for the presence of factor V (FV) Leiden mutation and for the G20210A allele in the prothrombin gene. While FV Leiden was not detected in any of the families, protein S deficiency and prothrombin mutation were present in five families. To assess the risk of VT in carriers of the combined defects, a total of 92...
