Abstract excerpt
A patient with a severe bleeding tendency and hypoprothrombinemia (Factor II activity 2%, Factor II antigen 5%) was screened for the presence of alterations in his prothrombin gene. Direct sequencing of PCR fragments derived from the coding and flanking regions of the prothrombin gene, revealed that the patient was homozygous for an A-->G substitution in exon 3. This substitution predicts the replacement of Tyr44...
