LOINC description : This term represents an antithrombin (AT) assay which, in contrast to typical AT assays,
is performed in the ABSENCE of heparin. This assay is also known as Progressive antithrombin
assay. It is used to identify type IIb AT deficiency, which is caused by a mutation
in the AT heparin binding site (HBS). In type IIb AT deficiency, AT activity is reduced
in the presence of heparin but is normal in the absence of heparin.[PMID: 19141163]
This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, the Biophen Antithrombin
5 assay's VARIANT Method, which is performed without heparin. In patients with type
IIb AT deficiency, AT activity is expected to be normal in patients with an HBS mutation.;
