Abstract
In three families with various forms of venous thrombosis, we observed an apparently inherited poor response to the anticoagulant activated protein C (APC). The condition was due to a deficiency in a previously unrecognized anticoagulant factor that functioned as a cofactor to activated protein C.Keywords
