Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Molecular genetic methods were implemented in the detection of thrombophilic disorders in the 1990's with the discovery of coagulation inhibitors antithrombin III (AT III), protein C (PC) and S (PS). The discovery of the molecular cause of activated protein C (APC) resistance by Bertina in 1994 greatly expanded their utilization. METHODS AND RESULTS: Currently, a broad group of molecular genetic...
