Abstract excerpt
Protein C (PC) deficiency, caused by mutations of the PROC gene, is a common inherited risk factor of thromboembolism (TE) among Thai people. This study aimed to investigate the association of 3 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; -1654 C/T, -1641 A/G, -1461A/T) at the PROC promoter region with PC activity and the risk of developing TE. A total of 216 patient s with TE, diagnosed at aged 0 to 20 years, and 102...
