Abstract excerpt
Factor X (FX) deficiency is one of the most severe among recessively inherited coagulation disorders. The homozygous Gly222Asp mutation (Gly43Asp in the chymotrypsinogen numbering) on the FX gene was found in fifteen patients with severe FX deficiency (FX:C <1%). The Gly(43) residue is located at the highly conserved 42-58 residues region shared among all trypsinogen-like proteins. In vitro expression studies...
