Abstract

Hereditary antithrombin (AT) deficiency is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by decreased AT activity in plasma and predisposition to recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE). Hereditary AT deficiency is caused by mutations in the SERPINC1 gene.
We investigated the variant AT protein, p.Thr147Ala, found in six women of African origin. It results from a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs2227606 in the SERPINC1 gene, with minor allele frequency of 0.67% in Africans and absent in all other studied populations. In silico prediction tools for pathogenicity show conflicting results.
