Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Prothrombin Yukuhashi (p.Arg596Leu) mutation can result in thrombophilia associated with antithrombin (AT) resistance. Mutant thrombin, an active form of prothrombin Yukuhashi, demonstrated moderately lower clotting activity than the wild-type but substantially impaired the formation of the complex with AT. However, the effects of the mutation on the thrombomodulin (TM)-protein C (PC) anticoagulant...
