Background: Factor VII deficiency is rare inherited bleeding disorders, have been identified in the Factor VII gene located on chromosome 13 with very few cases reported. Factor VII deficiency was first described by Alexander et al. in 1951.The disorder has also been known as Alexander's disease. It is the rare inherited bleeding disorders’ with an estimated incidence of 1 case per 3,00,000 to 5,00,000 individuals. Objective and method: We did a case report and literature review for deficiency of coagulation factors VII was found in a 4 years patient who had chromosomal aberration 13q deletion syndrome (46, XX, del 13q32-13q33). This loci involved in synthesis or constitution of factor VII. Results: A review of the gene map of chromosome 13 indicated that Factors VII and X are coded on the long arm of chromosome 13, within the deleted region. Conclusion: Congenital Factor VII deficiency is a rare cause of bleeding disorder, which should be suspected in a bleeding child presenting in infancy when platelets and aPTT are normal with abnormal PT. Congenital Factor VII deficiency association with 46, XX, del (13q32– 13q33) syndrome is very rare disorder and further cases should be reported to know the outcome and the risk of complication in such a cases.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
