Abstract

Congenital combined coagulation factor V and coagulation factor VIII deficiency (F5F8D) is a rare bleeding disorder due to mutations in the LMAN1 or MCFD2 genes. Here we report the first Polish family with F5F8 deficiency due to a mutation in the MCFD2 gene. The proposita suffered from mild bleeding including epistaxis, menorrhagia, bleeding after dental extraction, and bruising after minor traumas. The F5F8 deficiency was diagnosed due to an excessive postpartum bleeding at the age of 31. Analysis of further family members revealed a second affected individual. Sequencing of the MCFD2 gene and its flanking regions in both patients demonstrated a novel homozygous missense mutation within the second elongation factor hand domain resulting in a substitution of tyrosine by asparagine at amino acid position 135 (p.Tyr135Asn). This variant represents the third missense mutation found in the MCFD2 gene and most likely disrupts the MCFD2-LMAN1 interaction, thus leading to the disease phenotype.
