Abstract excerpt
The association of two missense mutations, a Leu 223 to Phe and an Ile 403 to Met, is described in a family presenting with various protein C deficiency phenotypes. In this family, two subjects were compound heterozygotes with protein C levels of about 25%, the other members being heterozygous for only one of the mutations. The Leu 223 to Phe mutation was also found in 9 members of 3 other families and, in all...
