To explore the causative mutation for autosomal recessive inheritance factor V (FV) deficiency in a Chinese family. Relative coagulation indexes and the FV antigen were tested by the one-stage clotting method and ELISA, respectively. At the same time, the calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT) was used to analyze the mutant protein function. All 25 exons, flanking sequences, 5' and 3' untranslated regions of the F5 were amplified by PCR and sequenced directly, while each suspected variant was verified by reverse sequencing. The possible impact of the mutant was analyzed by the corresponding bioinformatics software. The phenotypic tests showed that the proband's FV activity has decreased to 24%, whereas the FV antigen has also reduced to 28%. The genetic analysis revealed that she was a compound heterozygote for a frameshift variant from small deletion in the exon 13 (c.2390_2390delC, p.Pro798Leufs∗13) and a missense mutation in the exon 25 (c.6665A>G, p.Asp2222Gly). Meanwhile, the online bioinformatics software indicated that the frameshift variant was disease-causing. The pathogenic variant p.Pro798Leufs∗13 and the benign variant p.Asp2222Gly largely account for the decrease of the FV deficiency in this Chinese family, of which the pathogenic variant is firstly reported in the world.
