Protein C is vitamin K-dependent. Patients with Protein C deficiency are at an increased risk of developing skin necrosis while on warfarin. Protein C has a short half life (8 hour) compared with other vitamin K-dependent factors and therefore is rapidly depleted with warfarin initiation, resulting in a transient hypercoagulable state.
ICD-10 coding number Diseases Database coding number Medical Subject Headings Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC, defibrination syndrome) Protein C deficiency: Protein C deficiency is a rare genetic trait that predisposes to thrombotic disease. [83] Protein S deficiency: Factor V Leiden: Thrombocytosis: Idiopathic thrombocytopenic ...
There have also been cases in patients with other deficiency, including protein S deficiency, [6] [7] activated protein C resistance (Factor V Leiden) [8] and antithrombin III deficiency. [ 9 ] Although the above hypothesis is the most commonly accepted, others believe that it is a hypersensitivity reaction or a direct toxic effect.
Protein C in plasma in the steady state has a half life of 6- to 10-hour, therefore, patients with severe protein C deficiency and presenting with purpura fulminans can be treated acutely with an initial bolus of protein C concentrate 100 IU/kg followed by 50 IU /kg every 6 hours. [7]
Human Chr 3. In terms of the cause of protein S deficiency it can be in inherited via autosomal dominance.A mutation in the PROS1 gene triggers the condition. The cytogenetic location of the gene in question is chromosome 3, specifically 3q11.1 [6] [7] Protein S deficiency can also be acquired due to vitamin K deficiency, treatment with warfarin, liver disease, kidney disease, chemotherapy ...
PI3kinase. The pathophysiology of activated PI3K delta syndrome has several aspects. [2] The normal function has P110δ (PI3K) involved in immune system regulation. [9]P110δ effect is not limited to the immune system; P110δ has a presence in transformed epithelial cells and cell adhesion molecules (airway inflammation), and research has been done on the possibility of P110δ in the nervous ...
This gene provides instructions for making a protein (cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5) that is essential for normal brain development and function. [4] The CDKL5 protein is widely expressed in the brain, predominantly in nerve cells ( neurons ), with roles in cell proliferation , neuronal migration , axonal outgrowth, dendritic morphogenesis ...
The mature LLO is transferred co-translationally to consensus sequence Asn residues in the nascent protein, and is further modified by trimming and re-building in the Golgi. [9] Deficiencies in the genes involved in N-linked glycosylation constitute the molecular background of most CDGs. [10] Type I defects involve the synthesis and transfer of ...
