Deficiency of all vitamin K-dependent clotting factors leads to a bleeding tendency that is usually reversed by oral administration of vitamin K. Familial multiple coagulation factor deficiency is rare. Clinical symptoms of the disease include episodes of intracranial hemorrhage in the first weeks of life, sometimes leading to a fatal outcome (Fregin et al., 2002).
For a general phenotypic description and a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of combined deficiency of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, see VKCFD1 (277450). [from
