Abstract excerpt
Direct sequencing of antithrombin III (AT) gene fragments specifically amplified by the polymerase chain reaction was utilized to identify the molecular basis of type 1 AT deficiency in two unrelated kindreds, both with thrombotic disease. Two novel point mutations were identified, deletion of a T from the second position of codon 81 in one propositus and insertion of a G in codon 424 in the second kindred. The...
