PROS1
Associated conditions:
- Thrombophilia
PROS1 makes protein S, a natural blood thinner that helps switch off the clotting process once a clot has done its job. Genetic changes in this gene are associated with an autosomal dominant condition called protein S deficiency, tipping the balance toward unwanted clots in the veins. Knowing your genetic status enables prevention around high-risk situations like surgery.
Conditions linked to PROS1
Thrombophilia
Thrombophilia is an inherited tendency to form blood clots more easily than usual. It raises the risk of clots in the legs or lungs, especially around surgery, pregnancy or long travel, so knowing your status guides prevention at higher-risk times.
