Abstract excerpt
A Ser 460 to Pro mutation of protein S (PS), involving a T to C transition in exon XIII of the protein S alpha (PROS1) gene and known as the Heerlen polymorphism, was found in 16 of 85 symptomatic patients with PS deficiency (18.8%) and only 1 of 113 healthy subjects (0.8%). Another frequent polymorphism was described in exon XV of the PROS1 gene, in the codon for Pro 626 (CCA/CCG). We found that Heerlen...
