Abstract excerpt
We report the genetic abnormalities in the protein C genes of a Spanish child with neonatal purpura fulminans and disseminated intravascular coagulation, associated with undetectable protein C levels. Direct sequencing of the nine protein C gene exons and their splice junctions indicated that the proband is a compound heterozygote with two mutant protein C gene alleles, Y124C and Q132X, that do not express...
