Core Tip

Core Tip: The hereditary antithrombin (AT) deficiency caused by SERPINC1 gene mutation is an autosomal dominant thrombotic disorder. Currently, there are no reports on SERPINC1 rs2227589 polymorphism and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). Here, we report for the first time a Chinese CVST case with a mutation of the SERPINC1 rs2227589 polymorphic site, which did not cause significant AT deficiency. More studies should be conducted to assess the correlation between rs2227589 polymorphism and CVST.
