摘要
Congenital factor VII (FVII) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder. Its clinical manifestation and mutational spectrum are highly variable. The purpose of this study was to identify and characterize the mutation causing the FVII deficiency in a Chinese patient and his family. The FVII gene was analyzed by genomic DNA sequencing, and the FVII levels in patient's plasma were measured with an enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) and one-stage prothrombin time based method. In addition, the FVII-Phe190 mutant identified in the pedigree was expressed in the HEK293 cells, and the subcellular localization experiments in the Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were performed. The patient had a prolonged prothrombin time and low levels of both FVII antigen and activity, and two heterozygous mutations were identified in F7 gene (NG-009262.1): a g. 15975 G>A in the splice receptor site of intron 6 and a novel g. 16750 C>T in exon 8 resulting in Ser190 to Phe190 replacement. In expression experiments, the reduced antigen and activity levels of FVII-Phe190 in the culture medium were found, whereas an ELISA and Western blotting analysis of FVII revealed that mutant FVII-Phe190 was synthesized in the cells as the wild-type FVII-Ser190. And FVII-Phe190 was found in endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. Compound heterozygous mutations in F7 gene should be responsible for the FVII deficiency in this patient. The FVII-Phe190 can normally be synthesized and transported from endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi apparatus, but degraded or inefficiently secreted.
