We investigated the molecular basis of a severe factor V (FV) deficiency in a Japanese female, and identified two distinct mutations in the FV gene, a novel cytosine insertion (1943insC) and a previously reported point mutation (A5279G). We expected the patient to be a compound heterozygote for those mutations, as a 1943insC, but not an A5279G, was found in the mother and a sibling. The 1943insC will cause a...
