▶Protein C rs2069912 C allele is associated with increased mortality from severe sepsis in North Americans of East Asian ancestryAssociationN=100James A. Russell et al.(2008)· Human Genetics
This study tested the association of protein C 673 T/C (rs2069912) with severe sepsis mortality in 100 North American patients of East Asian ancestry, replicating findings from a Chinese population. The C allele was associated with decreased 28-day survival (47% for CC/CT vs 56% for TT, P=0.035) and reduced days alive free of coagulation dysfunction (P=0.038), with a hazard ratio of 2.0 (95% CI 1.05-3.81) for mortality in Cox regression.
About PROC
This gene encodes a vitamin K-dependent plasma glycoprotein. The encoded protein is cleaved to its activated form by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex. This activated form contains a serine protease domain and functions in degradation of the activated forms of coagulation factors V and VIII. Mutations in this gene have been associated with thrombophilia due to protein C deficiency, neonatal purpura fulminans, and recurrent venous thrombosis.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
