Molecular basis of inherited human antithrombin deficiency

Figures 1 and 4 summarize the various AT mutations that have been described. The molecular elucidation, over the past decade, of the various AT deficiency types has provided important new insights into functional-structural relationships of AT. This knowledge, together with data provided by monoclonal antibodies and x-ray crystallographic studies of related molecules, has provided important new insights as to how the AT molecule functions in …
