Combined deficiency of factor V and factor VIII (F5F8D1) is characterized by bleeding symptoms similar to those in hemophilia (306700) or parahemophilia (227400), caused by single deficiency of factor V (612309) or factor VIII (300840), respectively. The most common symptoms are epistaxis, menorrhagia, and excessive bleeding during or after trauma. Plasma FV and FVIII antigen and activity levels are in the range of 5 to 30%. Inheritance of F5F8D is autosomal recessive and distinct from the coinheritance of FV deficiency and FVIII deficiency (summary by Zhang and Ginsburg, 2004).
Genetic Heterogeneity of Combined Deficiency of Factor V and Factor VIII
Another form of combined deficiency of factor V and factor VIII (F5F8D2; 613625) is caused by mutation in the MCFD2 gene (607788) on chromosome 2p21. [from
