Thromb Haemost 2005; 94: 678–9 Congenital prothrombotic disorders contributing significantly to the development of spontaneous, recurrent venous thrombosis, are rarely documented in Southeast Asian populations. Studies from the Far East, especially in Chinese and Japanese populations (1–5), have suggested that a significant proportion of cases of venous thrombosis had deficiency of anticoagulant proteins, particularly protein C, protein S and antithrombin (AT). However, few cases of these procoagulant inhibitor deficiencies have been extensively characterized at the molecular level. This is in contrast to the pattern of genetic risks in Western countries where Factor V Leiden, the prothrombin 20210A allele and the MTHFR (C667T) mutation are important risk factors for thrombosis (6, 7). Antithrombin, a plasma serine protease inhibitor (serpin), is a major regulator inactivating procoagulant factors such as thrombin, factor Xa, and XIa (8). Inherited deficiency caused by antithrombin gene mutations results in a significantly increased risk (25–50 fold) of recurrent venous thromboembolism (9, 10). Recent studies from Asian countries have documented antithrombin deficiency as a prothrombophilic risk in 2–7% of patients with venous thrombosis (1–5).Apart from severalmutations reported by Japanese groups (11–15), the molecular defects underlying antithrombin deficiency inAsian populations is less elucidated. Recently, we analyzed a Thai family with antithrombin deficiency and identified a novel mutation underlying deficiency of this serpin protein.
