This study aimed to primarily discuss the pathogenesis of hereditary coagulation factor Ⅴ (FⅤ) deficiency in a family with a consanguineous cousin marriage. The coagulation indices of the pedigree (three generations with seven individuals) and the thrombin levels of the proband and his father were assessed. All exons of the F5 gene were analyzed with Sanger sequencing, and a new mutation was confirmed with reverse sequencing.

Inflammation stimulation regulates the activity of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) through direct-sensing and cytokine-mediation. It is known that HSCs directly sense lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a classical infection-related inflammatory signal, via toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) and subsequently become active. However, the mechanism underlying the activity change of HSCs induced by LPS remains incompletely disclosed.
