Mutations in the thrombomodulin gene are rare in patients with severe thrombophilia.

Abstract excerpt

Because thrombomodulin plays a key role in the protein C pathway, we evaluated the contribution of thrombomodulin gene mutations to venous thrombosis. We examined 38 patients with recurrent, documented thrombotic events at a young age and a positive family history. Twelve individuals with low levels of soluble thrombomodulin in plasma were also studied. Finally, the allelic frequency of the Ala455Val polymorphism...
