Although hereditary protein S (PS) deficiency is clearly associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE), the importance of low PS concentrations as a risk factor for VTE in other patients is still a matter of debate. To clarify this issue, we designed a case-control study to evaluate the role of different molecular forms of plasma PS.
