AbstractBackground: The association between protein S deficiency (PSD) and ischemic stroke is controversial and warrants further investigation. Methods: We conducted a genotype and MRI correlation study in a Chinese family in which hereditary PSD cosegregated with premature ischemic strokes. Six out of 11 family members inherited PSD type III in an autosomal dominant manner. Results: Among all PSD members, a novel missense mutation 1063C→T in exon 10 of protein S alpha (PROS1) was identified, which encoded a substitution of arginine to cysteine at position 355 (R355C) in the first globular domain of laminin A of protein S. Wild-type PROS1 sequences were retained in non-PSD members. MRI detected deep white matter infarctions predominantly distributed in the borderzone regions. The infarct topography was homogeneous in all adult mutant carriers. By contrast, cerebral infarction was absent in nonmutant carriers. Extensive investigation in the family did not reveal any confounding stroke risk. Haplotype analysis with high-density single nucleotide polymorphism markers revealed a 6.1-Mb minimally rearranged region (rs12494685 to rs1598240) in 3q11.2, lod = 3.0. Among the 7 annotated genes in this region, PROS1 is known to be associated with thrombotic disorders. MRI screening in an additional 10 PSD families without R355C showed no cerebral infarction. Conclusions: PROS1 R355C mutation cosegregated with PSD type III and premature white matter infarctions in the index family. The findings substantiate an association between PSD and stroke. Study of the mechanism underlying this association may improve our understanding of premature cryptogenic white matter infarction. © 2010 by AAN Enterprises, Inc.
