Protein C Deficiency via the PROC Gene
Use
This test is designed for individuals with clinical or suspected protein C deficiency. It's specifically tailored for those who exhibit protein C activity levels less than 70%. Additionally, reproductive partners of individuals with a known pathogenic variant in the PROC gene might find this test relevant. It helps confirm the diagnosis and guide appropriate management strategies for affected patients.

Limitations
This test does not cover all genetic variations and should not be used as the sole criterion for clinical diagnosis. False negatives may occur if the variant is located in regions not covered by the test, or it is in a form that is difficult to detect with the NGS technology used. Also, the presence of CNVs may complicate the analysis.
