Abstract excerpt
Antithrombin (AT) activity tests are used for diagnosing hereditary AT deficiency, a main genetic determinant of thrombophilia. They are either based on inhibition of thrombin (FIIa) or activated factor X (FXa). FXa-based assays have been suggested to be preferable to FIIa-based assays due to their higher sensitivity for certain AT deficiency causing mutations. To assess the performance of these two methods in a...
