Protein C Deficiency: A Novel Presentation with Extended Family History
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Protein C is a blood factor that plays a key role in anti-coagulation processes which aim to maintain the circulatory homeostasis. A deficiency in this protein can be acquired by inheritable or sporadic routes. When inherited, protein C deficiency passes through generations in an autosomal dominant manner by (PROC) gene mutations. Its diagnosis is based on the clinical and laboratory findings. In this report, we present a case of protein C deficiency in a family who has an extended history of this disease in addition to a novel co-presentation of lower limb lipoma.
