Kathleen Freson: Protein C Deficiency as a Genetic Modifier of Severe Haemophilia A

Kathleen Freson, Professor at KU Leuven, Chair of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH), shared a post on LinkedIn:

“In a patient with severe Haemophilia A but unexpectedly mild bleeding, we identified a heterozygous pathogenic variant in PROC causing partial protein C deficiency, which improved thrombin generation through a natural Rebalancing Effect on haemostasis.

This work highlights how genetic modifiers can attenuate disease severity and multigene panel testing can identify such natural rebalancing mechanisms!”

Title: Prothrombotic PROC variant rebalancing haemostasis in severe haemophilia A with attenuated bleeding risk
