Two genetic defects in a patient with complete deficiency of the b-subunit for coagulation factor XIII.

چکیده
A genomic DNA obtained from a female patient with complete b-subunit deficiency was examined by Southern blotting analysis and in vitro amplification. Nucleotide sequence analysis showed that adenosine-4161 at the acceptor splice junction of intron A/exon II was deleted in half of the amplified DNAs, resulting in a loss of the obligatory AG splicing sequence. The absence of adenosine-4161 was confirmed by cleavage with TaqI endonuclease of the amplified DNAs. Moreover, sequence analysis showed that guanosine-11499 coding for Cys 430 (TGC) in exon VIII was replaced by thymidine in half of the amplified DNAs, resulting in an amino acid change to Phe (TTC) and the destruction of a disulfide bond in the seventh Sushi domain. This mutation was also confirmed by cleavage with MboII endonuclease. Thus, the proband turned out to be a compound heterozygote of two separate defective alleles. Although half of the amplified DNAs for exon VIII of her daughter or son were cleaved by MboII, those for intron A were not cleaved by TaqI. The replacement of guanosine-11499 by thymidine in their exon VIII has also been confirmed by sequence analysis, indicating that they are heterozygous for one normal and one defective allele.

Current understanding in diagnosis and management of factor XIII deficiency
Factor XIII or "fibrin-stabilizing factor," is a transglutaminase circulates in the blood circulation as a hetero tetramer with two catalytic A subunits and two carrier B subunits. This important coagulation factor has a crucial role in clotting cascade and produces strong covalent bonds between soluble formed fibrin monomers during coagulation. This stable cross linked fibrin strands are resis...

Coagulaon factor XIII gene, protein structure and funcon Coagulaon factor XIII (FXIII) is a tetrameric (FXIII- A2B2) pro-transglutaminase enzyme with an essenal role in the final stage of coagulaon cascade by cross linking the fibrin monomers and stabilizing the fibrin clot. Congenital FXIII deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder, with an autosomal recessive trait inheritance, and a fre...

Factor XIII deficiency (FXIIID) is an extremely rare hemorrhagic disorder with a prevalence of 1/3-5 million. Management of disease is performed by fresh frozen plasma (FFP), Cryoprecipitate (CP) or FXIII concentrate (Fibrogammin P®). Our objective was to assess safety and effectiveness of Fibrogammin P® in patients with FXIIID. For this purpose we designed this long-term follow up study on a l...

Background: Congenital factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency is one of the rarest bleeding disorders with a prevalence of one per 2 million in the general population. The disorder is accompanied by a high rate of life-threatening bleeding. Due to normal results of routine coagulation tests, diagnosis of the disorder is challenging, but molecular methods can be used for precise diagnosis. Direct mutati...
