Genetic diagnosis of four combined deficiency of factor Ⅴ and Ⅷ patients / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the genetic diagnosis and molecular pathogenesis of four patients with combined deficiency of coagulation factor Ⅴ and Ⅷ and their family members. Methods The APPT, FT, FⅤ C, FⅧ C were detected for phenotypic diagnosis. Thrombin generation assay was applied to determine the generation condition of thrombin in patients and healthy controls. Cenomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood using the TianGen RelaxCene Blood DNA System;amniotic fluid DNA was extracted with phenol-ethyl ether method. The LMAN1 and MCFD2 genes were analyzed by PCR. Gene mutations were detected with nucleotid sequences by using end-labeling dideoxy method. Results The APTT of Proband 1 was significantly prolonged to 88. 2s and her PT was prolonged to 19. 6 s. The combined deficiency was identified with FⅧ (FⅧ C 24. 2% ) and FV(FⅤ C 9. 1% ). Proband 2 and 3 were sisters. The coagulation studies revealed that both of them had prolonged APTT (71.6 s and 74.6 s respectively) and PT (22. 1 s and 18. 3 s respectively). The combined deficiency of FⅤ (FⅤ C 7. 6% and 14. 5% respectively) and FⅧ( FⅧ C 25% and 19.6% respectively) were identified. Proband 4 was detected to have the prolonged APTT (70.3 s),PT (18.2 s) and the deficiency of FⅤ(FⅤ C 9. 4% ) and FⅧ (15. 7% ). The remaining phenotype indicators test of the 4 probands were normal. The diagnosis for the 4 probands was combined deficiency of factor Ⅴ and Ⅷ. The proband 1 was detected to have compound heterozygous mutations in LMAN1 gene while having the LMAN1 and MCFD2 direct gene sequencing. One mutation was a small insertion located on exon 8 [ nt912insA (X71661. 1)] that resulted in p. 305frameshiftX20 and her mother was detected to have the same heterozygous mutation on the the locus. The other mutation was located on exon 11 nt1366C > CT ( X71661. 1 ) , p. 456Arg > Stop which was inherited from her father. Amniocyte DNA was detected to have only one heterozygous mutaion [nt1366C > CT (X71661. 1) , 456Arg > Stop] inherited from the father. No mutation in MCFD2 gene was found in proband 1 and her parents. The analysis of the MCFD2 gene in proband 2 and 3 revealed a novel homozygous single base substitution (nt411T>C) in exon 4, which results in the exchange of the amino acid isoleucine by the amino acid threonine at amino acid position 136 (p. Ile136Thr). Sequencing of the whole LMAN1 gene showed that the proband 4 had one homozygous nonsence mutation in the exon 5 of the LMAN1 ( nt615C >T,p. 202 Arg> Stop). All of the 4 probands with combined deficiency of FⅤ and FⅧ showed declined endogenous thrombin potential in the thrombin generation tests. Conclusion The combined deficiency of FⅤ and FⅧ in the proband 1 results from the compound heterozygous mutations ( nt1366C > CT and nt912insA) in LMAN1 gene, which are inherited from her parents respectively. The prenatal genetic investigation for the patient mother with preganency indicates that the fetus is a female carrier with one mutation (nt1366C > CT) inherited from the father. The homozygous missence mutation ( nt411T > C, p. Ile136Thr) in the MCFD2 gene accounts for the proband 2 and 3. The daughter of the proband 2 is a carrier with a heterozygous mutation inherited from her mother. The homozygous nonsence mutation in the LMAN1 gene of the proband 4 results in the deficency of F Ⅴ and FⅧ.
