Abstract excerpt
We hypothesized that increased prothrombin levels associated with G20210A prothrombin gene mutation could affect the results of activated protein C (APC) resistance phenotype and increase the risk of venous thrombosis (VT). The increasing addition of purified prothrombin in plasma of 90 normal subjects resulted in a parallel significant increase of APC resistance. Significantly different mean n-APC-SR in 879...
