Activated protein C resistance as an additional risk factor for thrombosis in protein C-deficient families

Abstract excerpt

Heterozygous protein C deficiency is associated with an increased risk for thrombosis. This association is restricted to a minority of protein C-deficient families, which have been defined as clinically dominant protein C-deficient. In contrast, in the clinically recessive protein C-deficient families, only the homozygous family members are (severely) affected. One possible explanation for this difference in...
