title: A novel homozygous missense mutation in the protein C (PROC) gene causing recurrent venous thrombosis.
abstract: A novel homozygous CCC----CTC (Pro 247----Leu) substitution was detected in the protein C genes of a patient, born to consanguineous parents, with inherited type 1 protein C deficiency and recurrent venous thrombosis. Since one of four heterozygous relatives was also clinically affected, the condition appears to be inherited as an incompletely recessive trait in this family.
