Protein C deficiency is a rare genetic trait that predisposes to thrombotic disease. It was first described in 1981.[2] The disease belongs to a group of genetic disorders known as thrombophilias. Protein C deficiency is associated with an increased incidence of venous thromboembolism (relative risk 8–10), whereas no association with arterial thrombotic disease has been found.[3]
