Severe factor X deficiency due to a homozygous mutation (Cys364Arg) that disrupts a disulphide bond in the catalytic domain

Abstract: Severe factor X deficiency (<0.01 IU mL(-1)) is a rare disorder producing a major bleeding tendency including umbilical cord, joint and intracranial haemorrhage. We present the first case of a child homozygous for a g.1177T > C missense alteration, predicted to disrupt the catalytic domain, and resulting in severe FX deficiency. The child suffered intracranial haemorrhage and now receives regular prophylaxis with a prothrombin complex concentrate. Our experience and a review of the literature suggest that opti… Show more

“…The p.Gly244Arg, p.Gly420Arg and p.Cys404Arg (Table ), similarly to the p.Leu251Pro but differently from the GLA domain mutants, lead to very low circulating FX levels. In particular, Gly244 (c25), located in the small Cys241‐Cys246 disulphide‐bridged loop, results in an altered trafficking towards secretion .…”

“…It participates to the c43‐c196 contact with a key role for the correct structure and folding of the FXa catalytic domain. Last, the p.Cys404Arg variant disrupts the highly conserved intra‐chain Cys390‐Cys404 (c168‐c182) disulfide bridge in the FX heavy chain . It remains to be investigated how these profound structural changes would alter but not suppress protein folding, secretion and activity, and thus be compatible, as the rFX‐251Pro, with a dysfunctional but not completely inactive FX requiring substitutive therapy immediately after birth.…”

“…Like in the index case described herein, this requires long‐lasting central venous access with a high potential for complications (thrombosis, bleeding, infection) and repeated surgery. A few plasma‐derived products for the substitution of FX are available and it seems that – like our group – most use preparations containing both, FIX and FX (15–20 IU per kg body weight) [15], or prothrombin complex concentrates (50–70 IU kg −1 ) [2,16,17], given in 1–2(–3) doses per week. There is a potential risk for thromboembolic complications in prothrombin complex concentrates because the concentration of either FIX or FX is unknown or not consistent [15].…”
