Scott syndrome, characterized by impaired transmembrane migration of procoagulant phosphatidylserine and hemorrhagic complications, is an inherited disorder

Abstract excerpt

An as yet single family with a bleeding history is shown to present the characteristic lack of membrane expression of procoagulant phospholipids observed in Scott syndrome. Low prothrombin consumption in the serum of the propositus, a 71-year-old woman, and two of her children was the sole abnormal hemostasis parameter. The degree of exposure of procoagulant phospholipids, chiefly phosphatidylserine, was reduced...
