Abstract excerpt
Antithrombin III (AT III) is an inhibitor of serine protease (serpin) comprising 432 amino acids. Quantitative AT III deficiencies are associated with a high risk of thrombotic disease. Although this risk is smaller in patients with qualitative AT III deficiencies, the molecular defects characterizing the latter have been the subject of many studies. However, in quantitative AT III deficiencies, only three...
