Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Protein C (PC) pathway serves as a major defense mechanism against thrombosis by the activation of PC through the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex and subsequent inactivation of the activated factor (F)V (FVa) and FVIII (FVIIIa) with the assistance of protein S, thereby contributing to hemostatic balance. We identified 2 unrelated patients who suffered from recurrent thrombosis and carried the same...
