Abstract
We investigated the molecular basis of a severe factor V (FV) deficiency in a Japanese female, and identified two distinct mutations in the FV gene, a novel cytosine insertion (1943insC) and a previously reported point mutation (A5279G). We expected the patient to be a compound heterozygote for those mutations, as a 1943insC, but not an A5279G, was found in the mother and a sibling. The 1943insC will cause a frame-shift after 590Gln, resulting in amino acid substitutions with two abnormal residues followed by a stop codon in the FV A2 domain (FS592X). The A5279G will cause an amino acid alteration in the FV A3 domain (Y1702C), which has been observed in several ethnic groups. We found that both mutant mRNAs were detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in the patient's platelets, whereas no FV antigen and activity were detected in plasma. On the one hand, the RT-PCR signal from the FS592X-FV mutant mRNA was markedly reduced, suggesting that the RNA surveillance system would eliminate most of the abnormal FS592X-FV transcripts with a premature termination. On the other hand, expression analyses revealed that only small amounts of Y1702C-FV with a low specific activity were secreted, and that the FS592X-FV was not detected in cultured media. These data indicated that both mutant FV molecules would be impaired, at least in part, during the post-transcriptional process of protein synthesis and/or in secretion. Taken together, it seems to suggest that each gene mutation could be separately responsible for severe FV deficiency, while this phenotype is due to the in-trans combination of the two defects.

Abstract
Coagulation factor V (FV) is the protein cofactor required in vivo for the rapid generation of thrombin catalyzed by the prothrombinase complex. It also represents a central regulator in the early phases of blood clot formation, as it contributes to the anticoagulant pathway by participating in the downregulation of factor VIII activity. Conversion of precursor FV to either a procoagulant or anticoagulant cofactor depends on the local concentration of procoagulant and anticoagulant enzymes, so that FV may be regarded as a daring tight-rope walker gently balancing opposite forces. Given this dual role, genetic defects in the FV gene may result in opposite phenotypes (hemorrhagic or thrombotic). Besides a concise description on the structural, procoagulant and anticoagulant properties of FV, this review will focus on bleeding disorders associated with altered levels of this molecule. Particular attention will be paid to the mutational spectrum of type I FV deficiency, which is characterized by a remarkable genetic heterogeneity and by an uneven distribution of mutations throughout the FV gene.

Abstract
DNA variations in the Factor V gene have played a major role in thrombosis research ever since the discovery of Factor V Leiden. Here, all relatively common DNA variations in the coding regions of the Factor V gene are discussed. Many of them have been associated with venous thrombosis or related diseases. However, most variations have been studied separately, without taking the presence of other variations in the same gene into account. This means that their association with disease should be interpreted with caution, as it may reflect linkage with another variation. An approach in which a haplotype-based analysis of the Factor V gene is combined with in vitro assays of recombinant proteins is advocated. Finally, a possible reason for the relatively polymorphic nature of the Factor V protein is discussed.

Abstract
Mutations in LMAN1 (ERGIC-53) or MCFD2 cause combined deficiency of factor V and factor VIII (F5F8D). LMAN1 and MCFD2 form a protein complex that functions as a cargo receptor ferrying FV and FVIII from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi. In this study, we analyzed 10 previously reported and 10 new F5F8D families. Mutations in the LMAN1 or MCFD2 genes accounted for 15 of these families, including 3 alleles resulting in no LMAN1 mRNA accumulation. Combined with our previous reports, we have identified LMAN1 or MCFD2 mutations as the causes of F5F8D in 71 of 76 families. Among the 5 families in which no mutations were identified, 3 were due to misdiagnosis, with the remaining 2 likely carrying LMAN1 or MCFD2 mutations that were missed by direct sequencing. Our results suggest that mutations in LMAN1 and MCFD2 may account for all cases of F5F8D. Immunoprecipitation and Western blot analysis detected a low level of LMAN1-MCFD2 complex in lymphoblasts derived from patients with missense mutations in LMAN1 (C475R) or MCFD2 (I136T), suggesting that complete loss of the complex may not be required for clinically significant reduction in FV and FVIII.

Abstract
A 47-year-old man with heterozygous factor V Leiden disorder and intermittent hyperhomocysteinemia developed spontaneous acute popliteal artery thrombosis. Homocysteine levels were above normal limits at presentation. Intra-arterial thrombolysis was used successfully to treat the acute thrombosis; long-term treatment included anticoagulation, folic acid, and risk factor modification. Although factor V Leiden is strongly associated with deep venous thrombosis, additional cofactors such as hyperhomocysteinemia may predispose to an increased risk of acute arterial thrombosis in areas of pre-existing peripheral arterial disease.

Abstract
AbstractHeterozygous carriers of factor V (FV) Leiden who also carry FV deficiency often develop venous thromboembolism, but the thrombosis risk associated with this rare condition (pseudohomozygous activated protein C resistance) is still unclear. The thrombosis risk of genetically characterized pseudohomozygotes (n = 6) was compared with that of FV Leiden heterozygotes (n = 683) and homozygotes (n = 50) recruited within a large cohort study on familial thrombophilia. Both thrombin generation and Kaplan-Meier thrombosis-free survival analyses were performed in different FV genotype groups. FV Leiden pseudohomozygotes showed significantly higher thrombosis risk than heterozygotes. The thrombin generation test in pseudohomozygotes showed a pattern similar to homozygotes. Accordingly, early thrombotic manifestations occurred in pseudohomozygotes at a similar rate as in homozygotes. Thus, failure to recognize FV deficiency in FV Leiden heterozygotes may result in an underestimate of the thrombosis risk and inadequate management of affected patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Co-inheritance of heterozygous factor V deficiency with FV Leiden enhances the activated protein C resistance (APCR) associated with this mutation, resulting in pseudo-homozygous APCR. The role of FV deficiency in modulating thrombotic risk in this rare condition is poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS We have identified in thrombophilic patients with FV deficiency a novel FV gene mutation (c. 4996G>A), predicting the Glu1608Lys substitution in the A3 domain. The heterozygous mutation was detected in three unrelated patients, two carriers of the FV Leiden mutation, and one of the FVHR2 haplotype. The Glu1608Lys change was also present in two subjects with mild FV deficiency, and absent in 200 controls. The FV1608Lys carriers showed reduced mean FV activity (42% +/- 12%) and antigen (53% +/- 18%) levels and, in Western blot analysis, reduced amounts of intact platelet FV. The restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) study identified two haplotypes underlying the mutation, which suggests that it is recurrent. In heterozygous subjects the amount of FV1608Lys mRNA in white blood cells was similar to that produced by the counterpart alleles (FVWt or FVHR2). Recombinant FV1608Lys (rFV1608Lys), detected by Western blot in the conditioned medium, was indistinguishable from rFVWt and FV antigen and activity were found to be respectively 44% +/- 20% and 13% +/- 4% of rFVWt. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that FVGlu1608Lys predicts a CRM (plasma)/CRMred (cell culture) FV deficiency, and may contribute to thrombophilia in carriers of FV Leiden and FVHR2 haplotype via a pseudo-homozygosity mechanism. Our findings help to define the molecular bases of FV deficiency and thrombophilia.

Abstract
Combined deficiency of factors V (FV) and factor VIII (FVIII) (F5F8D) is an autosomal recessive bleeding disorder caused by simultaneous moderate-to-mild decrease of both clotting proteins. Mutations in two components of the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC-53), i.e., lectin mannose binding protein (LMAN1) and multiple coagulation factor deficiency 2 (MCFD2), have been found to be responsible for this dual deficiency in most of the cases reported in literature. Three Indian families with F5F8D were analyzed for the presence of mutations in their LMAN1 and MCFD2 genes. One of the three families showed the presence of a G to A substitution in exon 2 of the MCFD2 gene, whereas another family showed a nonsense mutation, i.e., G to T substitution, in exon 2 of the LMAN1 gene, the latter being a novel mutation not previously reported. The third family did not show mutations in either of the two genes, suggesting that a significant subset of F5F8D cases may be due to additional genes resulting in a similar phenotype.

Abstract
A Thai woman, with no family history of bleeding disorders, presented with excessive bleeding after minor trauma and tooth extraction. The screening coagulogram revealed prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time. The specific-factor assay confirmed the diagnosis of combined factor V and factor VIII deficiency (F5F8D). Her plasma levels of factor V and factor VIII were 10% and 12.5% respectively. The medications and blood product treatment to prevent bleeding from invasive procedure included 1-deamino-8-d-arginine vasopressin, cryoprecipitate, factor VIII concentrate, fresh frozen plasma and antifibrinolytic agent. Gene analysis of the proband identified two LMAN1 gene mutations; one of which is 823-1 G --> C, a novel splice acceptor site mutation that is inherited from her father, the other is 1366 C --> T, a nonsense mutation that is inherited from her mother. Thus, the compound heterozygote of these two mutations in LMAN1 cause combined F5F8D.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To identify gene mutations of a pedigree with inherited factor V (FV) deficiency. METHODS The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), FV activity (FV:C) and FV antigen (FV:Ag) tests were performed for phenotypic diagnosis. The genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood of the proband and all the 25 exons and their flanks of FV gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The PCR products were screened by direct sequencing and the mutations were further confirmed by restriction enzyme digestion. RESULTS APTT, PT, TT, FV:C, FV:Ag of the proband were 249.2 s, 46.6 s, 17.9 s, 0.1% and 1.5%, respectively. FII, FVII, FVIII, FIX, FX activities, vWF and Fg were within normal ranges. Taking the GenBank Z99572 sequence as the reference, four mutations were identified in FV gene of the proband. They were a heterozygous two bases deletion in exon 13 (2238 approximately 2239delAG) introducing a frameshift and a premature stop at codon 689, and a heterozygous missense mutation in exon 23 (G6410T) resulting in the substitution of Gly for Val at codon 2079, respectively. The proband's father and mother were heterozygous for G6410T and for 2238 approximately 2239delAG, respectively. CONCLUSION The severe FV deficiency of the proband is caused by a frameshift mutation of 2238 approximately 2239delAG and a missense mutation of G6410T, which haven't been identified before.

Abstract
Combined deficiency of factor (F)V and FVIII (F5F8D) and combined deficiency of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors (VKCFD) comprise the vast majority of reported cases of familial multiple coagulation factor deficiencies. Recently, significant progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying these disorders. F5F8D is caused by mutations in two different genes (LMAN1 and MCFD2) that encode components of a stable protein complex. This complex is localized to the secretory pathway of the cell and likely functions in transporting newly synthesized FV and FVIII, and perhaps other proteins, from the ER to the Golgi. VKCFD is either caused by mutations in the gamma-carboxylase gene or in a recently identified gene encoding the vitamin K epoxide reductase. These two proteins are essential components of the vitamin K dependent carboxylation reaction. Deficiency in either protein leads to under-carboxylation and reduced activities of all the vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors, as well as several other proteins. The multiple coagulation factor deficiencies provide a notable example of important basic biological insight gained through the study of rare human diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND During the study of a family with hereditary factor (F)V deficiency (FV Amersfoort, 1102 A > T in exon 7) we identified an individual with 5% FV heavy chain antigen (FV(HC)) and 50% FV light chain antigen (FV(LC)). Further testing revealed that apart from the FV Amersfoort allele a second variant FV allele was segregating in this family, which encodes for a FV molecule with a reduced affinity for mAb V-23 used in the FV heavy chain ELISA (ELISA(HC)). OBJECTIVE Identification and characterization of the molecular basis responsible for the reduced affinity of the variant FV for mAb V-23. METHODS Family members of the proband were screened for mutations in the exons coding for the heavy chain of FV, after which the recombinant variant FV could be generated and characterized. Next, the cases and controls of the Leiden Thrombophilia Study (LETS) were genotyped for carriership of the variant FV. RESULTS In the variant FV allele a polymorphism in exon 3 (409G > C) was identified, which predicts the replacement of aspartic acid 79 by histidin (D79H). Introduction of this mutation in recombinant FV confirmed that it reduces the affinity for binding to mAb V-23. The substitution has no effect on FV(a) stability and Xa-cofactor activity. In Caucasians the frequency of the FV-79H allele is approximately 5%. Analysis of the LETS revealed that the FV-79H allele is not associated with FV levels (FV(LC)), activated protein C sensitivity (using an activated partial thromboplastin time-based test) or risk of venous thrombosis (OR 1.07, CI 95: 0.7-1.7). CONCLUSION The D79H substitution in FV should be considered as a neutral polymorphism. The monoclonal antibody V-23, which has a strongly reduced affinity for FV-79H, is not suitable for application in diagnostic tests.

Abstract
To investigate the molecular defects in two Chinese pedigrees with inherited factor V (FV) deficiency. A 37-year-old male (proband 1) and an 18-month-old boy (proband 2) were diagnosed as inherited coagulation FV deficiency by severely reduced plasma levels of FV activity and antigen. All 25 exons and their flanking sequence of F5 gene were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for both probands and the PCR products were directly sequenced. Total RNA was extracted from the peripheral lymphocytes of proband 1 for detecting the changes at mRNA level. The homozygous deletion IVS8 -2A>G was identified in the F5 gene of proband 1 and complementary DNA (cDNA) analysis revealed the abolishment of the canonical splicing site by the mutation and the activation of the cryptic acceptor site 24 bp upstream instead. The insertion introduced eight additional amino acids (AA) into the FV protein. Two heterozygous mutations of F5 gene were discovered in proband 2. The 2238-9del AG in exon 13 introduced a premature termination code at 689 AA and the substitution of G6410 by T in exon 23 lead to the missense mutation Gly2079Val. Three F5 gene mutations, IVS8 -2A>G, 2238-9del AG and G6410T, have been identified in two Chinese pedigree with congenital FV deficiency, respectively.

Abstract
A North American registry for rare bleeding disorders [factor (F)II, factor (F)VII, factor (F)X, factor (F)V, factor (F)XIII, fibrinogen deficiencies and dysfibrinogenemias] was established to gather information about disease prevalence, genotyping frequency, diagnostic events, clinical manifestations, treatment and prophylaxis strategies, as well as disease- and treatment-related complications. Questionnaires were sent to 225 hemophilia treatment centers in the USA and Canada. Among 26% of responding centers, 294 individuals [4.4% of the registered children (200/4583) and 2.4% of adults (94/3809)] were diagnosed with one or more of the rare bleeding disorders (RBDs) included in this survey. The ethnic distribution for each disorder paralleled that of the general US population with the exception of the disproportionately large number of Latinos with FII deficiency. Only 5.4% of affected individuals were genotyped. An abnormal preoperative bleeding screen most often led to diagnosis. The most common coagulopathy was FVII deficiency; however, 40% of homozygous patients were asymptomatic. FX and FXIII deficiencies caused the most severe bleeding manifestations. Among all RBDs, the most common sites of bleeding were skin and mucus membranes. Multiple products were used to treat hemorrhage; however, half of the bleeding episodes required no therapy. The majority of patients suffered no long-term complications from hemorrhage. Treatment-related complications included viral seroconversion, anemia, allergic reactions and venous access device-related events. This registry provides the most comprehensive information to date about North American individuals with RBDs and could serve as an important resource for both basic scientist and clinician.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Factor V HR2 possesses decreased co-factor activity to activated protein C and an increased ratio of factor V1 to factor V2. Factor V HR2 is associated with a mild increase in the risk of venous thromboembolism although not all studies concur on this point. DESIGN AND METHODS Inconsistencies in results of the epidemiological studies may stem from a failure to identify other variables in factor V which might contribute to an increased risk of thrombosis in selected HR2 carriers. The aim of this study was to establish whether factor V deficiency increases the risk of venous thromboembolism when associated with HR2. RESULTS Four hundred and ninety-seven patients with venous thromboembolism and 498 controls were studied. HR2 was present in 12.5% of patients and 10.4% of controls. Factor V deficiency was associated with HR2 in 4.6% of patients and 1.0% of controls. The OR for venous thromboembolism in individual with HR2 alone was 1.2 (95% CI 0.8-1.8), while it was 4.7 (95% CI 1.8-12.5) for those with HR2 plus factor V deficiency. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS Patients with HR2 and factor V deficiency developed a thrombotic event earlier (median age 35 years) than patients with HR2 alone (median age 43 years, p = 0.018). Double heterozygosity for HR2 and a factor V defect, including factor V deficiency, increased the thrombotic risk afforded by HR2.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Functional polymorphisms contributing to coagulation factor levels are preferential markers for association studies aimed at identifying prothrombic genetic components. METHODS AND RESULTS Factor V (FV) microsatellite genotypes were found to be associated with FV levels (P=0.003). Single nucleotide polymorphisms analysis and sequencing of the promoter and of coding regions identified two polymorphisms (Met2120Thr, Asp2194Gly) present in 20% of the population (n=1013) that are responsible for genotype-phenotype associations. The effect of the Met2120Thr polymorphism, both in plasma (mean reduction of FV level in the heterozygous condition: 25%) and in recombinant FV studies (34% reduction), was comparable to that of the Asp2194Gly change (20% and 34%, respectively). The study of 10 subjects with a rare genotype indicated that the Asp2194Gly substitution is the functional determinant of the reduced FV levels associated with the FVHR2 haplotype. Among Leiden carriers, the doubly heterozygous condition for FV2120Thr was found to be associated with a significantly increased activated protein-C resistance (APCR) (P<0.05), and the doubly heterozygous condition for FV2194Gly was found to be more frequent (P=0.009) in symptomatic than in asymptomatic subjects. CONCLUSIONS Extensive analysis of FV polymorphisms indicated that changes in the C2 domain modulate FV levels and might increase APCR and thrombotic risk in FV Leiden carriers through a pseudohomozygous mechanism.

Abstract
Activated protein C (APC) resistance phenotype/genotype discrepancy is a very rare event. The objective of this study was to characterize the molecular mechanisms in two cases of APC phenotype/genotype discrepancy. An approach using direct sequencing of each exon and splicing junctions of the factor V gene showed that two novel factor V null mutations combined with heterozygous factor V Leiden mutation were responsible for this discrepancy. Our results suggest the necessity to use both phenotypic and genotypic analyses in some cases to determine an accurate diagnosis.

Abstract
Severe factor V (FV) deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder, whose genetic bases have been characterized only in a limited number of cases. We investigated 6 unrelated patients with extremely reduced plasma FV levels, associated with a bleeding tendency ranging from moderately severe to severe. Clinical manifestations were substantially concordant with the previously established spectrum of hemorrhagic symptoms of the disease. Molecular analysis of FV gene identified 9 different mutations, 7 hitherto unknown, and 2 previously reported (Arg712ter and Tyr1702Cys). Four of 6 analyzed patients were compound heterozygotes, indicating the high allelic heterogeneity of this disease. Among novel mutations, 5 led to premature termination codons, because of nonsense (Arg1002ter, Arg1606ter, and Trp1854ter), or frameshift mutations (5127-5128insA and 6122-6123insAACAG). The remaining 2 were missense mutations (Cys472Gly and Val1813Met), located in FV A2 and A3 domains. Their effect on FV expression was studied by transient transfection experiments, demonstrating that the presence of each mutation impaired FV secretion. These data increase the number of severe FV deficiency-causing mutations by about 50%. The high number of "private" mutations identified in FV-deficient families indicates that full mutational screening of FV gene is still required for molecular diagnosis.

Abstract
A 16-year-old Chinese female with prolonged bleeding after surgery has been studied. Routine clotting tests revealed a prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT; 126.6 s) and prothrombin time (PT; 42.8 s). The coagulation factors activities were normal except for factor V, which was only 0.3% of normal. DNA analysis of the FV gene revealed five nucleotide substitutions in exons, including two silent mutations (G327A and A5112G), one polymorphism (G1628A), a G1348T missense mutation and 4887 approximately 8delG. These abnormalities were associated with her FV deficiency, perhaps by causing a Gly392Cys substitution in FV amino acid sequence or by introducing a premature stop codon at amino acid position 1390. This is the third case in which FV deficiency is caused by compound heterozygous mutation of F5 gene, and is the first report from a Chinese family.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the gene defect in a hereditary coagulation factor V (FV) deficiency family. METHODS The plasma FV actigen was measured by one-stage clotting assay. The FV antigen was assayed by Biotin-Avidin enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (BA-ELISA). The full length of exon 1 to exon 25 and the 5' untranslated sequence of FV genomic DNA were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing of the amplified fragments, meanwhile the defect was identified by T/A cloning sequencing. RESULTS The plasma coagulant activity and amount of FV of the proband were marked deficient (1% and 1.54%, respectively). DNA sequence analysis for the proband revealed a causative mutation in a heterozygous status. It was one base pair deletion in exon 4 at nucleotide 675 inherited from her mother. CONCLUSIONS A novel mutation in the FV gene was identified in the proband with congenital FV deficiency. The mutation was 675delA in exon 4 resulting in a frameshift and a premature termination codon.
