Abstract excerpt
We report the characterization of the genetic defect in a family with hereditary type-II protein C (PC) deficiency. The propositus is a 28-year-old woman with a history of thrombosis. Her PC activity level (58%) and PC antigen level (115%) are compatible with the diagnosis of type-II PC deficiency. Her asymptomatic sister is also PC deficient. Analysis of the PC gene of the propositus revealed a point mutation (G...
