ABSTRACT
Purpura fulminans (PF) is a neonatal presentation of homozygous or compound heterozygous protein C (PC) deficiency; infants who are diagnosed with it are determined to have a major defect in coagulation regulation which is associated with undetectable levels of PC. We report a pedigree who suffered from the hereditary PC deficiency with compound heterozygous mutants; genetic analysis revealed compound heterozygous mutations of 262 G > T(Asp88Tyr) and 400 + 5G > A that were identified in the proband; moreover, Asp88Tyr and 400 + 5G > A were also detected in the father and the mother, respectively. A bioinformatics analysis revealed 262 G > T is probably damaging, and structural analysis indicated a possible mechanism for the functional impairment of PC in this pedigree.
