Factor (F)XIII deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder. Genomic studies, adjunctive to biochemical assays, can provide valuable diagnostic and clinical clarity.
We describe a case of a child with FXIII deficiency in which genomic studies were crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
An 8-year-old male presented with a severe bleeding phenotype. His FXIII antigen, activity, and alpha-subunit (FXIIIA) levels were below detection limits. Genetic analysis identified 2 likely pathogenic variants in : a novel nonsense variant (c.59_60del, p.Ser20X) and a missense variant (c.211G>A, p.Arg704Gln). Trio analysis revealed that compound heterozygosity for the p.Ser20X and p.Arg704Gln variants were causal for severe FXIIIA deficiency in the index case.
Family segregation studies were essential in this case for interpreting genetic analysis results and identifying the causative variants resulting in severe FXIIIA deficiency.
因子(F)XIII缺乏症是一种罕见的出血性疾病。基因组研究作为生化检测的辅助手段,可为诊断和临床提供有价值的清晰度。
我们描述了一例FXIII缺乏症患儿,其中基因组研究对准确诊断和治疗至关重要。
一名8岁男性表现出严重的出血表型。他的FXIII抗原、活性和α亚基(FXIIIA)水平低于检测限。基因分析在[具体基因名称未给出]中鉴定出2个可能的致病变异:一个新的无义变异(c.59_→60del,p.Ser20X)和一个错义变异(c.211G>A,p.Arg704Gln)。三联体分析显示,p.Ser20X和p.Arg704Gln变异的复合杂合性是导致索引病例严重FXIIIA缺乏的原因。
在该病例中,家系分离研究对于解释基因分析结果和鉴定导致严重FXIIIA缺乏的致病变异至关重要。
