- Abstract
We report three heterozygous PROS1 mutations that caused type I protein S deficiency in three unrelated Chinese families. We measured protein S activity and antigen levels for all participants, screened them for mutations in the PROS1 gene. And we employed the calibrated automated thrombin generation (CAT) method to investigate thrombin generation. Numerous bioinformatics tools were utilized to analyze the conservation, pathogenicity of mutation, and spatial structure of the protein S. Phenotyping analysis indicated that all three probands exhibited simultaneous reduced levels of PS:A, TPS:Ag, and FPS:Ag. Genetic testing revealed that proband A harbored a heterozygous c.458_458delA (p.Lys153Serfs*6) mutation in exon 5, proband B carried a heterozygous c.1687C>T (p.Gln563stop) mutation in exon 14, and proband C exhibited a heterozygous c.200A>C (p.Glu67Ala) mutation in exon 2. Bioinformatic analysis predicted that the p.Lys153Serfs*6 frameshift mutation and the p.Gln563stop nonsense mutation in the protein S were classified as "disease-causing." The identification of the novel mutation p.Lys153Serfs*6 in PROS1 enriches the Human Genome Database. Our research suggests that these three mutations (p.Lys153Serfs*6, p.Gln563stop, and p.Glu67Ala) are possibly responsible for the decreased level of protein S in the three families. Furthermore, the evidence also supports the notion that individuals who are asymptomatic but have a family history of PSD can benefit from genetic analysis of the PROS1 gene.
