Blood coagulation disorder usually inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, though it can be acquired. It is characterized by defective activity in both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways, impaired thromboplastin time, and impaired prothrombin consumption.
Absence or reduced levels of PROTHROMBIN in the blood.
Storage-stable glycoprotein blood coagulation factor that can be activated to factor Xa by both the intrinsic and extrinsic pathways. A deficiency of factor X, sometimes called Stuart-Prower factor deficiency, may lead to a systemic coagulation disorder.

Acquired factor X deficiency in patients with amyloid light-chain amyloidosis: incidence, bleeding manifestations, and response to high-dose chemotherapy. (1/40)

Acquired deficiency of factor X occurs in patients with systemic amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis, presumably due to adsorption of factor X to amyloid fibrils. Of 368 consecutive patients with systemic AL amyloidosis evaluated at Boston Medical Center, 32 patients (8.7%) had factor X levels below 50% of normal. Eighteen of these patients (56%) had bleeding complications, which were more frequent and severe in the 12 patients below 25% of normal; 2 episodes were fatal. Ten factor X-deficient patients received high-dose melphalan chemotherapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation. Of 7 patients alive 1 year after treatment, 4 had a complete hematologic response, and all 4 experienced improvement in their factor X levels. One of 2 additional patients with partial hematologic responses had improvement in factor X. Thus, aggressive treatment of the underlying plasma cell dyscrasia in AL amyloidosis can lead to the amelioration of amyloid-related factor X deficiency.  (+info)

An overview of the use of high-dose melphalan with autologous stem cell transplantation for the treatment of AL amyloidosis. (2/40)

Primary or AL amyloidosis results from a plasma cell dyscrasia in which fibrillar light chain protein deposition leads to organ failure and death. Standard treatment for AL amyloidosis has been oral melphalan and prednisone. However, this form of treatment modifies the natural history of this lethal disease only marginally, extending median survival from 13 months following diagnosis to 17 months. At Boston University Medical Center, we have developed treatment protocols using high-dose intravenous melphalan with autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (HDM/SCT) to treat AL amyloidosis, and we have treated over 200 patients with HDM/SCT during the past six years. This extensive experience has shown that patients with AL amyloidosis, despite multisystem involvement and compromised organ function can tolerate this aggressive form of treatment. Furthermore, HDM/SCT results in durable hematologic responses in a substantial proportion of patients, and such responses are associated with clinical improvement, decreased amyloid-related organ dysfunction, and prolonged survival. However, toxicity from treatment is high (overall peri-transplant mortality, 14%), particularly for those patients with clinically significant cardiac involvement. For this reason, we believe a multidisciplinary management approach is essential when using HDM/SCT for treatment of AL amyloidosis. Based on our experience, we believe that HDM/SCT is the treatment of choice for patients with AL amyloidosis who have a good performance status and limited cardiac involvement at the time of diagnosis. HDM/SCT offers the best chance for hematologic remission, prolongation of survival, and reversal of amyloid-related disease. At the same time, we believe that HDM/SCT should continue to be examined in the context of clinical trials, directed at developing approaches to broaden the applicability of this therapy by minimizing toxicity and to increase the likelihood of complete hematologic responses.  (+info)

Molecular characterization of factor X deficiency associated with borderline plasma factor X level. (3/40)

Borderline plasma factor X (FX) levels might complicate the diagnosis of FX deficiency. An asymptomatic individual with 73% FX activity was identified to be heterozygous for the Val342Ala mutation. Expression studies suggested that this substitution is responsible for a CRM+ FX variant with normal activation but modestly reduced catalytic function.  (+info)

Factor X Shanghai and disruption of translocation to the endoplasmic reticulum. (4/40)

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Most secreted proteins, including coagulation factor X (FX), are synthesized with a signal peptide, which is necessary for targeting the nascent polypeptide into the endoplasmic reticulum. Characterization of naturally occurring mutations may provide insights into the functional roles of the amino acids in the signal peptide. DESIGN AND METHODS: A 52-year old male patient with type I FX deficiency was studied. Mutations were searched for by FX gene (F10) sequencing. The wild-type and the mutant FX proteins were expressed in transfected cells and then immunological assays were performed. Pulse-chase experiments and cell-free expression studies were conducted to determine the cellular fate of the mutant FX molecules. RESULTS: The patient we studied was homozygous for a substitution of arginine for serine at codon -30 in the signal sequence of F10. Immunoassays detected low FX antigen levels in both the conditioned media and lysates of the cells expressing the mutant protein. Pulse-chase analysis showed that only trace amounts of the mutant FX protein were detectable in the conditioned media, and that the mutant molecules did not accumulate inside the cells either. The results of cell-free expression studies showed that although the transcription and translation of the mutant construct were normal, no post-translational processing, such as N-linked glycosylation, occurred in the presence of microsomes. INTERPRETATION AND CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that substitution of a neutral polar amino acid, serine by arginine, in the hydrophobic core of FX signal peptide severely impairs the ability of the protein to enter the endoplasmic reticulum and results in FX deficiency.  (+info)

Hereditary coagulation factor X deficiency. (5/40)

Stuart Prower factor (Factor X) deficiency is a rare hereditary autosomal recessive coagulation disorder. We have come across three cases in the course of last 20 years at our institute. These patients presented with prolonged bleeding after minor trauma, epistaxis, subcutaneous bluish black nodules and two of them presented with history of consanguinity in parents. Hematological findings in correlation with clinical manifestations revealed severe factor X deficiency.  (+info)

A viable mouse model of factor X deficiency provides evidence for maternal transfer of factor X. (6/40)

BACKGROUND: Activated factor X (FXa) is a vitamin K-dependent serine protease that plays a pivotal role in blood coagulation by converting prothrombin to thrombin. There are no reports of humans with complete deficiency of FX, and knockout of murine F10 is embryonic or perinatal lethal. OBJECTIVE: We sought to generate a viable mouse model of FX deficiency. METHODS: We used a socket-targeting construct to generate F10-knockout mice by eliminating F10 exon 8 (knockout allele termed F10(tm1Ccmt), abbreviated as '-'; wild-type '+'), and a plug-targeting construct to generate mice expressing a FX variant with normal antigen levels but low levels of FX activity [4-9% normal in humans carrying the defect, Pro343-->Ser, termed FX Friuli (mutant allele termed F10(tm2Ccmt), abbreviated as F)]. RESULTS: F10 knockout mice exhibited embryonic or perinatal lethality. In contrast, homozygous Friuli mice [F10 (F/F)] had FX activity levels of approximately 5.5% (sufficient to rescue both embryonic and perinatal lethality), but developed age-dependent iron deposition and cardiac fibrosis. Interestingly, F10 (-/F) mice with FX activity levels of 1-3% also showed complete rescue of lethality. Further study of this model provides evidence supporting a role of maternal FX transfer in the embryonic survival. CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrate that, while complete absence of FX is incompatible with murine survival, minimal FX activity as low as 1-3% is sufficient to rescue the lethal phenotype. This viable low-FX mouse model will facilitate the development of FX-directed therapies as well as investigation of the FX role in embryonic development.  (+info)

Perivascular tissue factor is down-regulated following cutaneous wounding: implications for bleeding in hemophilia. (7/40)

Healing of skin wounds is delayed in hemophilia B (HB) mice. HB mice do not bleed excessively at wounding, yet rebleed hours to days later. Tissue factor (TF) expression is up-regulated by inflammatory cytokines and has been linked to angiogenesis. We hypothesized that impaired thrombin generation in HB leads to impaired TF expression following injury. Punch biopsies were placed on wild-type (WT) and HB mice. Tissues from wound sites were immunostained for TF. Blood vessels are normally surrounded by a coat of pericytes expressing TF. Surprisingly, within a day after wounding TF disappeared from around nearby vessels; returning after 8 days in WT and 10 days in HB mice. The granulation tissue filling the wound during healing also lacked TF around angiogenic vessels. Thus, perivascular TF expression is down-regulated during wound healing. This may prevent thrombosis of neovessels during angiogenesis but renders hemophiliacs vulnerable to hemorrhage during healing.  (+info)

Factor XDebrecen: Gly204Arg mutation in factor X causes the synthesis of a non-secretable protein and severe factor X deficiency. (8/40)

 (+info)

Factor X deficiency, also known as Stuart-Prower factor deficiency, is a rare bleeding disorder that affects the body's ability to form blood clots. It is caused by a mutation in the gene that provides instructions for making coagulation factor X, a protein involved in the coagulation cascade, which is a series of chemical reactions that lead to the formation of a blood clot.

People with factor X deficiency may experience excessive bleeding after injury or surgery, and they may also have an increased risk of spontaneous bleeding, such as nosebleeds, heavy menstrual periods, and joint bleeds. The severity of the condition can vary widely, from mild to severe, depending on the level of factor X activity in the blood.

Factor X deficiency can be inherited or acquired. Inherited forms of the disorder are caused by mutations in the F10 gene and are usually present at birth. Acquired forms of the disorder can develop later in life due to conditions such as liver disease, vitamin K deficiency, or the use of certain medications that interfere with coagulation.

Treatment for factor X deficiency typically involves replacement therapy with fresh frozen plasma or recombinant factor X concentrates to help restore normal clotting function. In some cases, other treatments such as antifibrinolytic agents or desmopressin may also be used to manage bleeding symptoms.

Hypoprothrombinemia is a medical condition characterized by a decreased level of prothrombin (coagulation factor II) in the blood, which can lead to an increased bleeding tendency. Prothrombin is a protein involved in the coagulation cascade that helps to form blood clots and stop bleeding.

Hypoprothrombinemia can be caused by various factors, including vitamin K deficiency, liver disease, inherited or acquired disorders of prothrombin synthesis, or the use of certain medications such as warfarin. Symptoms may include easy bruising, prolonged bleeding from cuts or injuries, nosebleeds, and in severe cases, internal bleeding. Treatment typically involves addressing the underlying cause and may include vitamin K supplementation, fresh frozen plasma transfusions, or other specific therapies depending on the etiology of the condition.

Factor X is a protein that is essential for blood clotting, also known as coagulation. It is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the coagulation cascade, which is a series of chemical reactions that lead to the formation of a blood clot. Factor X is activated by one of two pathways: the intrinsic pathway, which is initiated by damage to the blood vessels, or the extrinsic pathway, which is triggered by the release of tissue factor from damaged cells. Once activated, Factor X converts prothrombin to thrombin, which then converts fibrinogen to fibrin to form a stable clot.

Inherited deficiencies in Factor X can lead to bleeding disorders, while increased levels of Factor X have been associated with an increased risk of thrombosis or blood clots. Therefore, maintaining appropriate levels of Factor X is important for the proper balance between bleeding and clotting in the body.
