Abstract

Missense mutations, three of them novel (Asn210→Val, Asn248→Ile, Ala355→Val), were found in the protein C (PROC) genes of 7 patients with inherited protein C deficiency associated with venous thrombosis. Comparison with the phenotypic effects of mutations in the analogous residues of factor IX causing haemophilia B and the use of molecular modelling has provided explanations as to how these lesions might alter either the structure, function or secretion of the protein C molecules encoded.
