Abstract

Hereditary factor XI deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder with worldwide distribution. In Austrian patients only one mutation leading to congenital factor XI deficiency has been reported. In the present study, we identified the molecular basis of factor XI deficiency in three Austrian patients. Patients attended hospital for other reasons than bleeding disorders. Routine laboratory tests revealed prolonged APTTs due to decreased factor XI levels. We performed automated fluorescent sequencing of the promotor region, exons 1-15 and the flanking intronic regions of the factor XI gene. The mutations found were confirmed by restriction enzyme analysis or sequencing of the non-coding strand. Fluorescent sequencing revealed two novel mutations, the nonsense mutation Gln116X (443C>T) in exon 5 and a deletion of Ile197 and Asp198 (687_692delTCGACA) in exon 7. Furthermore, we detected a heterozygous A>G exchange at the third nucleotide of IVS6 (IVS 6 +3A>G), which had already been reported in a FXI deficient individual of French Basque origin. While the IVS 6 +3A>G decreases the calculated splice consensus score from 0.98 in the wild type to 0.56 in the altered sequence and therefore interferes with the consensus splice sequence, the c...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
