[Identification of a novel variant of F5 gene in a consanguineous pedigree affected with inherited coagulation factor V deficiency].

To explore the genetic basis for a consanguineous pedigree affected with inherited coagulation factor V deficiency.Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples from the pedigree and subjected to next generation sequencing for screening variants of the F5 gene. Suspected pathogenic variant was verified by using Sanger sequencing. Pathogenicity of the variant was evaluated according to ACMG guidelines.A homozygous frameshifting variant, c.4096delC (p.Leu1366Phefs*3), was identified in the F5 gene in the proband, which was confirmed to be derived from her consanguineous parents. This variant was absent in all databases including 10 000 in-house Chinese exome sequences. Based on the ACMG guidelines, the c.4096delC was predicted to be a pathogenic variant.A novel pathogenic variant has been identified in the F5 gene in a consanguineous pedigree with inherited coagulation factor V deficiency, which has enriched the spectrum of F5 gene variants.
