Description
  • Factor V Leiden (the most common) and Factor V Bonn thrombophilias are inherited conditions caused by the missense variants FV R534Q and FV A540V, respectively. These genetic mutations lead to resistance to activated protein C (APC), impairing its ability to inactivate factor Va (FVa) by cleaving it at residue R534 (Bertina RM et al., 1994; van Stralen KJ et al., 2008; Pezeshkpoor B et al., 2016). The defective cleavage of these FV variants may also interfere with APC-mediated inactivation of factor VIIIa (FVIIIa), where non-activated but APC-cleaved FV functions as an APC cofactor (VĂ¡radi K et al., 1996; Pezeshkpoor B et al., 2016). In addition to APC resistance, FVa Bonn (A540V) exhibits increased affinity for factor Xa (FXa) (Pezeshkpoor B et al., 2016), which diminishes APC-mediated cleavage at R534, as FXa and APC share a common exosite on FV (reviewed by Bernardi F, 2016). These conditions result in prolonged FVa activity, enhanced function of the prothrombinase FVa:FXa complex, and sustained thrombin generation, which may increase the risk of developing deep venous thrombosis in individuals carrying the FV Leiden or FV Bonn mutation (reviewed by Pastori et al., 1999; Perez-Pujol S et al., 2012; van Cott EM et al., 2016; Albagoush SA et al., 2023; Moore GW et al., 2023).
