Abstract excerpt
Combined deficiency of coagulation factor V (FV) and factor VIII (FVIII) (F5F8D) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by mild-to-moderate bleeding and reduction in FV and FVIII levels in plasma. F5F8D is caused by mutations in one of two different genes, LMAN1 and MCFD2, which encode proteins that form a complex involved in the transport of FV and FVIII from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi...
