Q: Antithrombin Iii Deficiency ( ATIII )

New User

I have Antithrombin III (ATIII) deficiency in my family. I was tested negative as child (>35 yrs ago), and to my knowledge neither of my parents (now deceased) had ATIII deficiency. One of my relatives has recently told me that ATIII deficiency can show up later and has suggested I get retested. I am aware of acquired ATIII deficiency, so other than this, can ATIII deficiency be latent and show up undetected? In other words, should I be concerned and get rested?
