Abstract

Two Japanese patients were newly diagnosed as having B subunit (XIIIB) deficiency of factor XIII (former type I deficiency). Both patients have a previously described one-base deletion at the boundary between intron A/exon II in the XIIIB gene, heterozygously or homozygously. A founder effect was proposed for this mutation because 3 unrelated patients with XIIIB deficiency also share 2 3'-polymorphisms. In one patient heterozygous for the above mutation, a novel mutation was also identified: a deletion of guanosine in exon IX (delG) of the XIIIB gene. To understand the molecular and cellular pathology of the delG mutation, expression studies were performed using a cultured mammalian cell line. Pulse-chase experiments showed that a resultant truncated XIIIB remained inside the cells and could not be secreted into the culture medium. Furthermore, immunocytochemical examinations by epifluorescence, confocal, and electron microscopes indicated impaired intracellular transportation of the truncated XIIIB from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus. No mutations in the gene for the A subunit (XIIIA) were identified in this patient. Therefore, secretion of the truncated XIIIB must also be impaired in vivo, leading to a secon...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.
