FACTOR V AND VIII INHIBITOR IN PATIENTS WITH COMBINED FACTOR V AND VIII DEFICIENCY

Patients with coagulation factor(s) deficiency who use coagulation therapy are susceptible to forming inhibitors against coagulation factor(s). In this survey we detected factor V and VIII inhibitor in ten patients with combined deficiency of factors V and VIII from north east of Iran (Khorassan province). It was revealed in our survey that eight patients had both factor V and factor VIII i...

A case of congenital factor V deficiency.

A case of Factor V deficiency, the first case in Korea, is reported in a 9-year-old boy whose plasma concentration of Factor V was 6%. He complained of easy bruisability, prolonged bleeding from the mouth after minor trauma and hemarthrosis and flexion contracture of the right knee. His parents are heterozygous (maternal Factor V concentration 52%, paternal 40%).

Molecular and Clinical Characterization of 7 Iranian Patients with Severe Congenital Factor V Deficiency: Identification of 4 Novel Mutations

Background and Aims: Congenital factor V (FV) deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder with 1 in 1000000 persons in the general population. Individuals with FV activity <1% and very low FV antigen levels are characterized as severe FV deficient patients. Little data is available about the molecular basis of this bleeding disorder in Iran. Materials and Methods: We analyzed 7 unrelated Iranian FV...
