Characterization of a Missense Mutation in the Catalytic Domain and a Splicing Mutation of Coagulation Factor X Compound Heterozygous in a Chinese Pedigree
Abstract:Background: Congenital coagulation factor X (FX) deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder with an incidence of one in one million caused by mutations in the FX-coding gene(F10), leading to abnormal coagulation activity and a tendency for severe hemorrhage. Therefore, identifying mutations in FX is important for diagnosing congenital FX deficiency. Results: Genetic analysis of the proband identified two single-base substitutions: c.794T > C: p.Ile265Thr and c.865 + 5G > A: IVS7 + 5G > A. His FX activity … Show more
