Description : Heterozygous protein C deficiency is characterized by recurrent venous thrombosis.
However, many adults with heterozygous disease may be asymptomatic (Millar et al.,
2000). Individuals with decreased amounts of protein C are classically referred to
as having type I deficiency and those with normal amounts of a functionally defective
protein as having type II deficiency (Bertina et al., 1984). Acquired protein C deficiency
is a clinically similar disorder caused by development of an antibody against protein
C. Clouse and Comp (1986) reviewed the structural and functional properties of protein
C and discussed both hereditary and acquired deficiency of protein C.;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the protein C gene (PROC, 612283.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Plasma protein C deficiency;
