In this video, Iberia Romina Sosa, MD, PhD, discusses the results of a study presented at ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, which examined the risk of thrombosis in patients with a protein S deficiency.
Sosa, an associate professor and chief of the division of hematology at Fox Chase Cancer Center, highlighted the study, which studied datasets and uncovered indications that specifically type I protein S deficiency is linked to venous thromboembolism.
“That was a nice, exciting way of being able to look at how we've normally thought about this, because I've usually thought about type I and type II as being equivalent. But in this particular case, we're starting to see that type I probably is more meaningful,” Sosa said.
