Abstract excerpt
Hereditary protein S deficiency is a risk factor for developing recurrent venous thromboembolic disease and is caused by a defect in the protein S 1 (PROS1) gene. Identification of the mutation in the PROS1 gene can overcome diagnostic uncertainty in family members with borderline protein S levels. We describe a novel nonisotopic method for molecular diagnosis of protein S deficiency, using fluorescein-labeled...
