A Novel Variant of the LMAN1 Gene in Combined Factor V and Factor VIII Deficiency in a Saudi Female Child: A Case Report.
Curēus 2024 March
Combined factor V and factor VIII deficiency (F5F8D) is an exceedingly rare autosomal recessive disease that causes concomitantly low levels of factor V and factor VIII, leading to mild to moderate bleeding tendencies. Within this disorder, mutations manifest in the lectin mannose-binding protein (LMAN1) or multiple coagulation factor deficiency 2 (MCFD2) genes. This report presents a case of a five-year-old Saudi female child who was referred from an otolaryngology clinic, with an incidental finding of prolonged prothrombin time (PT), international normalized ratio (INR), and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) detected during routine preoperative investigations for tonsillectomy, prompting further investigations. There was no prior history of bleeding symptoms in the patient. She was discovered to have low assays of factor V and factor VIII on subsequent investigations. Whole exome sequencing revealed the novel homozygous mutation c.604C>T in the LMAN1 gene, validating the diagnosis of F5F8D.
