Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The interaction of protein C (PC) with the endothelial PC receptor (EPCR) enhances activated PC generation. We performed targeted gene sequencing of the PC gene (PROC) and EPCR genes (PROCR) in patients with unprovoked venous thromboembolism (VTE) to determine whether mutations that impair PC-EPCR interactions are associated with an increased risk of VTE. APPROACH AND RESULTS: We sequenced exon 3 of...
