ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Factor V (FV) is an essential cofactor in the coagulation cascade. The characterization of novel mutations is advantageous for the clinical management of FV-deficient patients.METHODS:
Coagulation screening and thrombin generation assay were performed with the plate-poor plasma. All 25 exons of the F5 gene were amplified and sequenced. The ClustalX-2.1 software was applied to the multiple sequence alignment. The possible adverse effects of mutations were investigated with online bioinformatics software and protein modeling.RESULTS:
Two unrelated families with FV deficiency were under investigation. Proband A was an 18-year-old youth with recurrent epistaxis. Proband B was a 29-year-old woman who did not present with any bleeding symptoms. Three heterozygous mutations (p.Gln1532*, p.Phe218Ser, and p.Asp2222Gly) were detected. Interestingly, they were compound heterozygotes and both contained the p.Asp2222Gly, a polymorphism. The thrombin generation assay showed that both patients had impaired ability of thrombin generation, and in particular, proband A was more severe. Conservation, pathogenicity and protein modeling studies all indicated that these three mutations could cause deleterious effects on the function and structure of FV.CONCLUSION:
These three mutations are responsible for the FV-deficient in two pedigrees. Moreover, the nonsense variant p.Gln1532* is first reported in the world.Palavras-chave
