Abstract excerpt
Elevated plasma prothrombin levels, due to the prothrombin 20210 G/A mutation or to acquired causes, are a risk factor for venous thrombosis, partly because of prothrombin-mediated inhibition of the protein C anticoagulant pathway and consequent activated protein C (APC) resistance. We determined the effect of plasma prothrombin concentration on the APC resistance phenotype and evaluated the role of protein S...
