Abstract Introduction Congenital factor X deficiency is one of rarest bleeding disorders, occurring in 1 out of 1 million births. Its rarity limits its consideration in newborns presenting with hemodynamic instability. It is autosomal recessive and seen frequently in the consanguineous population. Patients with factor X deficiency are classified into three groups, based on factor X activity level: severe (<1%), moderate (1%-4%), and mild (6%-10%). Severe deficiency presents with bleeding diathesis early in life. Methods A 3-day-old male newborn, delivered at term via spontaneous vaginal delivery, presented in a well-baby clinic for a routine bilirubin check. Family history was negative for bleeding disorder or consanguinity. Nurse noted persistent blood oozing at heel stick site and oral, nasal, and umbilical stump bleeding. The patient immediately developed respiratory distress and shock. Sepsis, vitamin K deficiency, and congenital metabolic syndrome were considered. Liver function, WBC count, and other chemistry were normal, and cultures were negative. Hemoglobin was low and platelet count was elevated. PT (30.3 seconds) and aPTT (53.3 seconds) were both prolonged. Mixing patient’s sample with normal plasma corrected PT (13.1 seconds) and aPTT (25.7 seconds), indicating a factor deficiency. Results Coagulation factor assays revealed normal levels of factors VII, VIII, IX, and II. Factor X activity (12.9%) was low. The patient’s condition improved after multiple pRBC and plasma transfusions. He was placed on a daily 25-mL/kg dose of fresh-frozen plasma, which maintained his PT at 17.6 to 19.1 seconds and aPTT at 34.1 to 48.0 seconds. Factor X level increased to 20% after plasma transfusion. Conclusion Congenital bleeding disorder should be considered for neonates presenting with bleeding and shock. Factor X deficiency is suspected when both PT and aPTT are prolonged and corrected with mixing studies. Although factor levels of 10% to 40% are considered adequate for hemostasis, our patient with 12% factor X activity presented with a life-threatening bleeding event.

SummaryMonospecific antisera against the human coagulation factor X have been raised in rabbits by injections of purified antigen. Such antiserum was used to study the cross-reacting material without factor X activity which is present in the blood of warfarin-treated patients and animals as well as to study the changes in factor X during coagulation. One patient with congenital factor X deficiency was also studied.A complete identity was found between factor X in Macaca mulatta and human blood. During warfarin treatment antigenically cross-reacting material appeared in plasma. This was not adsorbed on BaSO4, and inhibited the coagulation activity of normal factor X.Both this material, normal factor X and the cross-reacting material in plasma from a patient congenitally deficient in factor X gave rise to split products during coagulation by the intrinsic pathway, i. e. all of them served as substrates for the intrinsic activator of factor X.

Congenital factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency is a rare, autosomal-recessive disorder, with most patients having an A-subunit (FXIII-A) deficiency. Patients experience life-threatening bleeds, impaired wound healing, and spontaneous abortions. In many countries, only plasma or cryoprecipitate treatments are available, but these carry a risk for allergic reactions and infection with blood-borne pathogens. The present study was a multinational, open-label, single-arm, phase 3 prophylaxis trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of a novel recombinant FXIII (rFXIII) in congenital FXIII-A subunit deficiency. Forty-one patients ≥ 6 years of age (mean, 26.4; range, 7-60) with congenital FXIII-A subunit deficiency were enrolled. Throughout the rFXIII prophylaxis, only 5 bleeding episodes (all trauma induced) in 4 patients were treated with FXIII-containing products. The crude mean bleeding rate was significantly lower than the historic bleeding rate (0.138 vs 2.91 bleeds/patient/year, respectively) for on-demand treatment. Transient, non-neutralizing, low-titer anti-rFXIII Abs developed in 4 patients, none of whom experienced allergic reactions, any bleeds requiring treatment, or changes in FXIII pharmacokinetics during the trial or follow-up. These non-neutralizing Abs declined below detection limits in all 4 patients despite further exposure to rFXIII or other FXIII-containing products. We conclude that rFXIII is safe and effective in preventing bleeding episodes in patients with congenital FXIII-A subunit deficiency. This study is registered at http://www..clinicaltrials.gov as number NCT00713648.
