Large deletions of the PROS1 gene in a large fraction of mutation-negative patients with protein S deficiency.

Abstract excerpt

UNLABELLED: Protein S deficiency is an autosomal dominant disorder that results from mutations in the PROS1 gene. Conventional mutation detection techniques fail to detect a pathogenic PROS1 mutation in approximately 50% of cases. The present study investigates whether large deletions of PROS1 are found in families where mutations in the PROS1 gene have not been found despite sequencing. For this purpose,a dense...
