Hypoprothrombinemia is an uncommon hereditary coagulation defect characterized by low levels of biologically active prothrombin. Automated fluorescence-based DNA sequence analysis of amplified genomic DNA was used to define prothrombin gene regions from a patient with severe functional
The genetic and molecular basis of a mutant prothrombin of 'prothrombin Tokushima' was studied by polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analyses. The abnormal gene was detected by altered migration by
Factor IX Chicago-2 and prothrombin Madrid were purified from patients with hemophilia B and congenital dysprothrombinemia, respectively. Each protein displays defects in zymogen activation secondary to the failure to cleave one of the sessile bonds whose cleavage is necessary for full coagulant
Structural studies on a hereditarily abnormal prothrombin, prothrombin Tokushima, have been performed to identify the difference responsible for its reduced fibrinogen clotting activity upon conversion to thrombin. The prothrombin sample used was from a heterozygote but contained exclusively a
