Genetics of SCPCD

Protein C Deficiency can be caused by hereditary mutations

Congenital PC deficiency is caused by mutations in the PC gene (PROC), located on chromosome 2 (q13-14).1

The condition can be inherited due to heterozygous, homozygous, or compound heterozygous mutations, as demonstrated below.2

SCPCD involves cases of homozygous and compound heterozygous mutation in the PROC gene.2
