We have identified a novel mutation leading to a congenital deficiency of the coagulation factor XI (FXI) in a Japanese family. A propositus was a 42-year-old female patient without bleeding tendency. Coagulant activity and the antigen level of FXI in her plasma were below the detectable range. The
Bernard-Soulier syndrome (BSS) is a rare inherited bleeding disorder due to quantitative or qualitative abnormalities in the platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib/IX/V complex, the major von Willebrand factor receptor. The complex comprises four subunits, each encoded by a separate gene. Several mutations h
