Abstract excerpt

Heterozygous deficiency of Protein S (PS) increases the risk for developing thrombosis. Many acquired conditions alter plasma PS levels. These complex interactions of PS in plasma make it imperative that clinical PS assay limitations are understood so that the assays are reliable, reproducible and specific to diagnose true genetic abnormalities based on plasma phenotype alone. Unfortunately, the diagnosis of PS...
