Objectives:
Reporting a case of inherited factor V deficiency and galactosemia.
Methods:
A neonate was admitted with hematoma, jaundice, splenomegaly, diarrhea, anemia, abdominal ascites and bilateral cataracts that diagnosis of galactosaemia and factor V deficiency was established.
Results:
Coinheritance of both coagulation disorder and metabolic disorder is very rare episode that was identified in a neonate.
Conclusion:
Our case indicates that in mild bleeding episodes of neonates that imitate of coagulation disorders should be considered promptly by pediatricians.

Glucose Transporters
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:
Transcytosis of IgG
IgG molecules from a mother undergo transcytosis starting around 13 weeks of gestation. The amount of IgG transferred and entering the fetal blood circulation increases with...
