factor v (fv) deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder (rbd) that inherit in autosomal recessive manner. diagnosis of fv deficiency (fvd) is made by routine coagulation tests, fv activity and molecular analysis. in patients with fvd, routine coagulation tests including activated partial thromboplastin time (aptt), prothrombin time (pt) and evenbleeding time (bt) are prolongedwhile thrombin time (...

To investigate the molecular mechanisms of the quantitative factor V (FV) deficiency associated with the FV R2 haplotype, 4 missense mutations, Met385Thr, His1299Arg, Met1736Val, and Asp2194Gly, identified in the R2 haplotype allele, were analyzed by in vitro expression studies. The FV variant carrying all 4 mutations showed a markedly lower steady-state expression level than wild-type FV becau...

Thrombokinase has been isolated from bovine plasma in a form that approached electrophoretic homogeneity` and gave a single boundary in the ultracentrifuge.' Such material has four separately measurable activities: 1. activation of prothrombin in the presence of oxalate; 2. activation of prothrombin in the presence of ionic calcium, phospholipid and factor V; 3. activation of chymotrypsinogen; ...

Normal hemostasis requires balanced regulation of prothrombotic and antithrombotic factors. Inherited alteration of factor V and prothrombin gene, the G20210A mutation, increases the resistance of factor V to degradation and booster production of prothrombin respectively. These alterations can increase hypercoagulability leading to thrombotic consequences. We aimed to assess the frequencies of ...

In his original description of a patient with parahemophilia and his studies on the nature of the defect, Owren (1) proposed that the missing factor, proaccelerin (Factor V), was converted, in the presence of calcium, into a prothrombinconverting substance ("prothrombinase," Factor VI) by the action of tissue thromboplastin. Other investigators, notably Ware and Seegers (2) in a series of studi...

A derivation of the classical jump rate I' for tracer diffusion aimed at a clear expression for the mass dependence of the frequency factor v is presented. The derivation is effected without using the usual collective normal coordinates which usually combine the masses in a complicated way. v depends explicitly on the mass of the surrounding host atoms (as well as on the tracer-atom mass) if th...
