Congenital factor V deficiency from compound heterozygous mutations with a novel variant c.2426del (p.Pro809Hisfs*2) in the F5 gene: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Congenital factor V deficiency (FVD) is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by low or undetectable plasma factor V (FV) levels leading to mild to severe bleeding symptoms. Currently, more than 100 mutations have been reported in F5. We herein report a patient with FVD from mutations in the F5 gene.

Patient concerns

A 52-year-old man with prolonged prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time corrected by mixing test on preoperative screening. His past medical or family history was not remarkable.

Diagnosis

Factor assays revealed a markedly reduced FV activity at 7%. Other factors were not decreased. DNA sequencing analysis to detect F5 gene mutations showed the patient was compound heterozygous for c.286G>C (p.Asp96His) and c.2426del (p.Pro809Hisfs*2). Asp96His was previously described missense mutation and Pro809Hisfs*2 was a novel deleterious mutation.

Interventions

Fresh-frozen plasma was administered to supplement FV before surgery.

Outcomes

Subsequent factor assays revealed temporarily increased FV activity at 33%.

Conclusion

As was the case in our patient, genotype-phenotype correlations are poor in FVD, and molecular genetic test is necessary to confirm the diagnosis.
