Abstract excerpt
Combined FV and FVIII deficiency (F5F8D) is a rare (1:1.000.000) autosomal recessive disorder caused by a defect in the LMAN1 or MCFD2 genes, encoding for a FV and FVIII cargo receptor complex. We report the phenotype and genotype analyses in nine unrelated Indian patients with low FV and FVIII coagulant activity [FV:C, range: 5.6-22.4% and FVIII:C, range: 8.3-27.1%]. Four homozygous mutations, including two...
