Abstract excerpt
We have been studying the molecular basis of protein C deficiency. In this study, we determined the molecular defects of protein C deficiency in 19 Japanese families by using a strategy combining polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. We identified 10 missense mutations, 1 in-frame deletion, 1 frameshift deletion, 1 frameshift addition, and 1 splice site...
