Abstract
The genotype-phenotype relationship of compound heterozygous protein S-deficiency in a 7-year-old girl with reduced protein S-levels and a severe cerebral sinovenous thrombosis is illustrated. In this patient we identified a novel deletion in the protein S-gene causing a compound heterozygous state and subsequently a symptomatic protein S-deficiency. In case of thrombosis analysis of protein S is recommended. Low levels of protein S should be further investigated by molecular diagnostics.
Zusammenfassung
Dieser Artikel charakterisiert das Verhältnis von Genotyp zu Phänotyp bei Compound-heterozygotem Protein-S-Mangel bei einem Mädchen mit schwerer Sinusvenenthrombose und Protein-S-Mangel. Wir wiesen eine bisher unbekannte Deletion im Protein-S-Gen nach, die zu einer Compound-Heterozygotie und somit zu einem symptomatischen Protein-S-Mangel führte. Im Falle einer Thrombose wird die Bestimmung von Protein S empfohlen; wiederholt niedrige Werte für Protein S können molekulargenetisch abgeklärt werden.
