A rare genetic disorder caused a severe deficiency in vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, leading to bleeding. A novel gene deletion in the gamma-carboxylase gene was identified as the cause.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Vitamin K-dependent factors (II, VII, IX, X) are crucial for hemostasis.
  • Deficiencies in these factors can cause bleeding disorders.

Observation:

  • A 3-month-old boy presented with a subdural hematoma and severely prolonged clotting times.
  • He had deficiencies in all vitamin K-dependent factors, including protein C and S.

Findings:

  • A 14-base deletion in intron 1 of the gamma-carboxylase gene was identified in homozygous state.
  • This deletion was also found in his heterozygous parents and affected sibling.
  • The deletion disrupts a palindromic sequence potentially involved in gene regulation.

Implications:

  • This finding identifies a novel genetic cause for multiple vitamin K-dependent factor deficiency.

  • The identified gene deletion may play a role in regulating gamma-carboxylase expression.
  • Further studies will clarify the role of this element in gene regulation.
