From this initial population, 122 individuals were identified as having plasma AT levels lower than 2 standard deviations below the normal mean. Twenty\u2010two samples had evidence that thrombin had been generated during blood collection and the remaining cohort of 100 blood donors were asked to return but only 59 complied. The data obtained from these 59 were compared with that from 51 age\u2010 and sex\u2010matched control blood donors. Both groups of subjects were assessed for previous evidence, or family history, of thrombotic events, as well as exposure to risk factors associated with the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). All had venous blood samples taken from which the supernatant plasma was Immediately removed and quick frozen for later assaying. Only 6 of the 59 subjects with initial low AT levels had repeat AT\u2010Xa levels below 0.80 units\/ml (normal range 0.94 \u00b1 0.14). Upon repeating the AT\u2010Xa determinations on new samples from these six Individuals, only three were found again to be low. One was found to have a type 3 AT deficiency (an Arg47Cys substitution). The other two with a low AT level had mean functional AT\u2010Xa levels of 0.61 and 0.71 units\/ml, respectlvely, with correspondingly low AT:Ag levels consistent with a type 1 AT deficiency. Two of these three subjects has been in high risk situations without evidence of having developed DVT and none had evidence of venous reflux on Doppler venography. In addition, none had personal or family histories of previous thrombotic events. These present data Indicate that the prevalence of AT deficiency In our blood donor population is 2 per 1,000 (95% confidence intervals: 0.7\u20106\/1,000). \u00a9 1994 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajh.2830450409","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,21]],"date-time":"2007-02-21T13:47:32Z","timestamp":1172065652000},"page":"321-324","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":76,"title":["Prevalence of antithrombin deficiency in healthy blood donors: A cross\u2010sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Philip S.","family":"Wells","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Morris A.","family":"Blajchman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Penny","family":"Henderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michael J.","family":"Wells","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Demers","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ron","family":"Bourque","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ann","family":"McAvoy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9343(89)80529-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/0003-4819-116-9-754"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0609.1976.tb01183.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_2","first-page":"839","article-title":"Prevalence of antithrombin III deficiency subtypes in 4000 healthy blood donors","volume":"65","author":"Tait RC","year":"1991","journal-title":"Thromb Haemost"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2141.1990.tb02541.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJM198710153171604"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0049-3848(78)90056-7"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2159","DOI":"10.1182\/blood.V80.9.2159.2159","article-title":"Molecular biology of inherited human antithrombin deficiency","volume":"80","author":"Blajchman MA","year":"1992","journal-title":"Blood"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1042\/bj2570143"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00001721-199210000-00005"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_2","first-page":"180","article-title":"Antithrombin HI biological activity and emotional stress in patients with coronary artery disease","volume":"77","author":"Canevari A","year":"1992","journal-title":"Haematologica"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"231","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0038-1651586","article-title":"An antithrombin III assay based on factor Xa inhibition provides a more reliable test to identify congenital antithrobin III deficiency than an assay based on thrombin inhibition","volume":"69","author":"Demers C","year":"1993","journal-title":"Thromb Haemost"}],"container-title":["American Journal of Hematology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1002%2Fajh.2830450409","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/ajh.2830450409","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,25]],"date-time":"2023-10-25T02:48:34Z","timestamp":1698202114000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/ajh.2830450409"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[1994,4]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[1994,4]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/ajh.2830450409"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/ajh.2830450409","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0361-8609","1096-8652"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0361-8609","type":"print"},{"value":"1096-8652","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[1994,4]]}}}
