Abstract excerpt
Kindred Vermont II has a high frequency of venous thrombosis, occurring primarily in pedigree members with type I protein C deficiency due to a 3363 inserted (Ins) C mutation in exon 6 of the protein C gene. However, only a subset of 3363 InsC carriers have suffered thrombotic episodes, suggesting that the increased risk of thrombosis results upon the co-occurrence of 3363 InsC with a second, unknown,...
