Familial haemostatic defect associated with reduced prothrombin consumption

D H Parry, J C Giddings, A L Bloom

    British Journal of Haematology
    |February 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    A rare inherited bleeding disorder was identified in ten individuals. This condition involves impaired blood clotting due to an inhibitor affecting plasma and phospholipid interactions, necessitating transfusions for correction.

    Area of Science:

    • Hematology
    • Genetics
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Investigating inherited hemorrhagic disorders.
    • Assessing coagulation factor function and interactions.

    Observation:

    • Ten individuals from three families presented with an unusual inherited bleeding disorder.
    • Reduced prothrombin conversion was noted, indicated by an abnormal prothrombin consumption index.
    • Coagulation factors were present, but defects in plasma-platelet or plasma-phospholipid interaction were suspected.

    Findings:

    • Affected individuals showed mild bleeding tendencies, primarily post-operative or post-partum.
    • Therapeutic trials required both plasma and platelet transfusions, suggesting an inhibitor of plasma-phospholipid interaction.
    • Potential abnormalities in gamma-carboxyglutamic acid residues of vitamin K-dependent factors were considered but not detected.

    Implications:

    • Highlights an inhibitor affecting blood coagulation interaction.
    • Suggests the importance of prothrombin conversion tests for diagnosing unexplained bleeding disorders.
    • Underscores the complexity of inherited hemorrhagic conditions and diagnostic challenges.
