Abstract excerpt
Factor X (FX) "Vorarlberg" is a congenital FX deficiency characterized clinically by a mild bleeding tendency. Homozygous individuals have a FX activity of less than 10% in the extrinsic system and 25% in the intrinsic system. FX antigen is 20%. Using molecular techniques, two point mutations were detected in the coding sequence of the FX Vorarlberg gene: a G----A at base pair 160 in exon II resulting in a change...
