SERPINC1
Associated conditions:
- High blood pressure
SERPINC1 makes antithrombin, one of the body's main natural blood thinners that keeps clotting in check. Genetic changes in this gene leave clotting unchecked and are associated with an autosomal dominant condition carrying the highest clot risk of the inherited thrombophilias, causing dangerous vein clots and lung emboli. Knowing your genetic status enables prevention around surgery, pregnancy and long travel.
Conditions linked to SERPINC1
High blood pressure
High blood pressure (hypertension) makes the heart and arteries work harder and, over time, raises the risk of heart, kidney and blood-vessel problems. Inherited forms exist, so knowing your risk supports regular monitoring and early treatment.
