| Abstract | Although patients with thromboembolic disease frequently have family histories of thrombosis, well-defined defects such as inherited deficiencies of anticoagulant proteins are found only in a minority of cases. Based on the hypothesis that a poor anticoagulant response to activated protein C (APC) would predispose to thrombosis, a set of new coagulation assays was developed that measure the anticoagulant response in plasma to APC. A middle-aged man with a history of multiple thrombotic events was identified. The addition of APC to his plasma did not result in a normal anticoagulant response as measured by prolongation of clotting time in an activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) assay. Four of the proband's relatives had medical histories of multiple thrombotic events, and they and several other family members responded poorly to APC in the APTT-based assay. Subnormal anticoagulant responses to APC were also found in factor IXa- and Xa-based assays. Several possible mechanisms for the observed phenomenon were ruled out, such as functional protein S deficiency, a protein C-inhibitory antibody, or a fast-acting protease inhibitor against APC. Moreover, restriction fragment-length polymorphism analysis excluded possible linkage of the underlying molecular defect to factor VIII and von Willebrand factor genes. We now describe a previously unrecognized mechanism for familial thromboembolic disease that is characterized by poor anticoagulant response to APC. This would appear to be explained best by a hypothesized inherited deficiency of a previously unrecognized cofactor to APC. As we have identified two additional, unrelated cases with thrombosis and inherited poor anticoagulant response to APC, this may constitute an important cause for familial thrombophilia. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
