Thrombophilia due to protein s deficiency, autosomal dominant - CISMeF
Thrombophilia due to protein s deficiency, autosomal dominantOMIM Phenotype
Preferred Label : Thrombophilia due to protein s deficiency, autosomal dominant;
Symbol : THPH5;
CISMeF acronym : THPH5;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Description : Heterozygous protein S deficiency, like protein C deficiency (176860), is characterized
by recurrent venous thrombosis. Bertina (1990) classified protein S deficiency into
3 clinical subtypes based on laboratory findings. Type I refers to deficiency of both
free and total protein S as well as decreased protein S activity; type II shows normal
plasma values, but decreased protein S activity; and type III shows decreased free
protein S levels and activity, but normal total protein S levels. Approximately 40%
of protein S circulates as a free active form, whereas the remaining 60% circulates
as an inactive form bound to C4BPA (120830). Zoller et al. (1995) observed coexistence
of type I and type III;
Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the protein S gene (PSA, 176880.0002);
Laboratory abnormalities : Absent/reduced protein S and normal total proteins in heterozygote;
