Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Genetic deficiencies of PROS1, PROC, and SERPINC1 (antithrombin) are risk factors for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Diagnosis of the inherited deficiencies of these three genes is sometimes difficult because of the phenotypic variability. This study was undertaken to reveal the frequency of nonsynonymous mutations of these three genes in Japanese DVT patients. PATIENTS/METHODS: One hundred...
