The proband, a 2-year-old girl, exhibited easy bruising and a history of umbilical cord bleeding at birth. Prothrombin time (> 40 s) and activated partial thromboplastin time (65.0 s) were prolonged. Marked declines in FX activity (< 1%) and FX antigen levels (5%) were also observed. Genetic analysis of the...
