[PMID: 36482349 PMCID: PMC9732993 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-022-05273-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Factor V deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder that can be either congenital or acquired. Factor V deficiency mostly present with mucosal bleeding. Coagulation factor V does not increase considerably during normal gestation. Since pregnancy can be threatened by blood clotting disorders, abnormal changes in coagulation factors level can pose challenges to pregnant women. CASE PRESENTATION We report a 40-year-old pregnant woman with prolonged gingival bleeding and epistaxis at 28 weeks of pregnancy. Her past medical history included two unexplained abortions. Physical examination was unremarkable, but the blood test showed elevated PT and PTT with a considerable decrease in factor V activity, while other factors were within normal range. Subsequently, the patient was diagnosed with congenital factor V deficiency. After treatment with fresh frozen plasma, she underwent vaginal delivery and a baby with factor V deficiency was born. CONCLUSIONS This is the second report of recurrent miscarriage in congenital factor V deficiency patients. Clinicians should consider the possibility of factor V deficiency in women with a history of idiopathic miscarriage even in patients without any symptoms.

Laparoscopic hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma in a patient with congenital factor V deficiency: a case report. Surg Case Rep 2022; 8:202. [PMID: 36271957 PMCID: PMC9588126 DOI: 10.1186/s40792-022-01559-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Factor V (FV) deficiency is an extremely rare disease, with an incidence of 1 in 1 million. The bleeding symptoms are mild, and the prognosis is good; however, the safety of surgical treatment is unclear, because there are few available reports. Herein, we report a case of hepatocellular carcinoma with congenital FV deficiency in a patient who safely underwent laparoscopic hepatectomy. CASE PRESENTATION A 79-year-old man, diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma of liver segment 5, with type C cirrhosis and sustained virological response visited our hospital. He had congenital FV deficiency, and blood tests showed coagulation deficiencies with an FV activity of < 2.6%, prothrombin time activity of 11%, and activated partial thromboplastin time of 100.3 s. Surgery and radiofrequency ablation were considered for treatment. Since the tumor was in contact with the Glissonean pedicle 5 + 6, surgery was judged to be superior from the viewpoint of safety and curability. After discussing the safety of the surgery with a hematologist, it was determined that the operation could be performed safely by transfusing sufficient fresh frozen plasma (FFP). Laparoscopic hepatic segment 5 + 6 subsegmental resection was performed with FFP transfusion, fluid restriction, airway pressure control, and central venous pressure reduction to control the bleeding. Bleeding was minimized during the transection of the liver parenchyma and no bleeding tendency was observed. The operative time was 445 min, and the amount of intraoperative bleeding was 171 mL. No complications, such as postoperative bleeding, were observed, and the patient was discharged on the eighth postoperative day. CONCLUSIONS Liver surgery can be performed safely in FV-deficient patients with strict coagulation capacity monitoring and appropriate transfusion of FFP. Preoperative evaluation of cardiac function to determine tolerance to high doses of FFP and ingenuity of surgery and intraoperative management to minimize blood loss are important.

High Mutational Heterogeneity, and New Mutations in the Human Coagulation Factor V Gene. Future Perspectives for Factor V Deficiency Using Recombinant and Advanced Therapies. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:ijms22189705. [PMID: 34575869 PMCID: PMC8465496 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22189705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Revised: 09/02/2021] [Accepted: 09/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Factor V is an essential clotting factor that plays a key role in the blood coagulation cascade on account of its procoagulant and anticoagulant activity. Eighty percent of circulating factor V is produced in the liver and the remaining 20% originates in the α-granules of platelets. In humans, the factor V gene is about 80 kb in size; it is located on chromosome 1q24.2, and its cDNA is 6914 bp in length. Furthermore, nearly 190 mutations have been reported in the gene. Factor V deficiency is an autosomal recessive coagulation disorder associated with mutations in the factor V gene. This hereditary coagulation disorder is clinically characterized by a heterogeneous spectrum of hemorrhagic manifestations ranging from mucosal or soft-tissue bleeds to potentially fatal hemorrhages. Current treatment of this condition consists in the administration of fresh frozen plasma and platelet concentrates. This article describes the cases of two patients with severe factor V deficiency, and of their parents. A high level of mutational heterogeneity of factor V gene was identified, nonsense mutations, frameshift mutations, missense changes, synonymous sequence variants and intronic changes. These findings prompted the identification of a new mutation in the human factor V gene, designated as Jaén-1, which is capable of altering the procoagulant function of factor V. In addition, an update is provided on the prospects for the treatment of factor V deficiency on the basis of yet-to-be-developed recombinant products or advanced gene and cell therapies that could potentially correct this hereditary disorder.

Abstract
Although rare clotting factor deficiencies primarily referred to as rare bleeding disorders (RBD), including factors II, V, VII, and X, make up ∼5% of all inherited bleeding disorders worldwide, each of these clotting factors play a critical role in the coagulation cascade. Incomplete bleeding evaluation or misinterpretation of laboratory studies can result in delayed diagnoses that ultimately affect patient outcomes. Bleeding manifestations can range from mild to severe, but the most common are mucocutaneous bleeding. The ideal treatment in RBD is dedicated single-factor concentrates that can be used for acute bleeding events, surgical management, and prophylaxis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic platelet (PLT) infusion is a strategy to raise Factor V (FV) levels in patients with congenital FV deficiency. However, since FV is labile in vitro, we hypothesized that FV activity could be low in PLT units. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS FV activity was tested using a prothrombin time-based platform in the supernatant and platelet lysate (PL) of apheresis PLT units (16 units stored in PLT additive solution with acetate and phosphate [PAS-C] and 10 units stored in plasma only), on post-collection days 3-6. Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t test (P < .05). RESULTS FV activity was severely diminished in PAS-C PLTs (N = 16) supernatant (3.70% ± 1.02%) and PL (3.26% ± 1.02%). FV activity in plasma-only PLTs (N = 10) was lower in both supernatant (44.55% ± 6.46%) and lysate (39.67% ± 6.33%) relative to normal plasma levels, but both were significantly higher (P < .0001) compared to PAS-C PLTs. In a separate set of experiments, FV activity in PAS-C PLTs examined serially over storage time (N = 3 for these experiments) showed that FV levels were reduced by day 3 and not significantly different by day 5 of storage (Day 3 supernatant 5.03% ± 1.41%; Day 5 supernatant: 3.10% ± 0.57%; P = .2; Day 3 lysate: 3.89% ± 1.03%; Day 5 lysate: 2.61% ± 0.41%; P = .4). CONCLUSION Plasma should be considered over PLTs as first-line therapy for non-complex FV deficiency-associated hemorrhage. If PLTs are considered for transfusion, plasma-only PLT units should be preferentially utilized, as PAS-C PLT have near-absent FV activity.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rare coagulation factor deficiencies are less-known disorders with variable effects on the patient's life. Management of such patients is a challenge due to the paucity of evidence-based data, more so when patients with these rare disorders encounter a more rare, related condition, like inhibitor development or thrombosis. AREA COVERED A comprehensive literature search related to RCFDs and management was performed in PubMed in order to discuss therapeutic options and challenges, prophylaxis, management of minor and major surgeries, obstetric and gynecological complications, inhibitor development, and thrombosis. EXPERT OPINION Although significant changes have occurred in the management of RCFDs in recent years, more evidence-based studies besides expert opinion are needed for optimal management.
