Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the antithrombin (AT) gene in 9 unrelated Japanese patients with thrombotic disease. All 7 exons, the splice junctions, and the 5'-flanking region of the AT gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced directly. Nine different point mutations, all in the heterozygous state, were identified. Five novel (M-32T, M89K, L146H, Q159X, and L409P) and 2 previously reported (R132X and R359X)...
