title: Exonic polymorphisms in the protein C gene: interethnic comparison between Caucasians and Asians.
abstract: Plasma protein C deficiency is associated with inherited thrombotic disease. Allelic frequencies of five previously reported DNA polymorphisms and a new polymorphic site (C 8480 T) were calculated in Asian and American Caucasian individuals by direct genomic sequencing and compared to previous reports.
