Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Protein C (PC) is a vitamin K-dependent anticoagulant serine protease zymogen which upon activation by the thrombin-thrombomodulin (TM) complex downregulates the coagulation cascade by degrading cofactors Va and VIIIa by limited proteolysis. We identified a thrombosis patient who carried a heterozygous mutation c.881G > A, p.Ser252Asn (S252N) in PROC. This mutation was originally described in a report...
