A novel mutation of SERPINC1 in a patient presenting as recurrent cerebral sinus venous and portal vein thrombosis

Inherited antithrombin deficiency (OMIM 107300) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that could increase the risk of venous thromboembolism and is usually caused by mutations of SERPINC1. Herein, we present a case of a novel mutation in the SERPINC1 gene in a Chinese patient. The patient was a 54-year-old man who presented with recurrent venous thromboembolism and was without a recent history of any precipitating factors. Whole exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing identified a novel heterozygous variant on exon 2 of SERPINC1 gene (c.142G>A, p.P48S).
