Australian observations of a stellar occultation by Sedna in 2013 produced similar results on its diameter, giving chord lengths 1025 ± 135 km and 1305 ± 565 km. [9] The size of this object suggests it could have undergone differentiation and may have a sub-surface liquid ocean and possibly geologic activity.
Hypoprothrombinemia can be the result of a genetic defect, may be acquired as the result of another disease process, or may be an adverse effect of medication.For example, 5-10% of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus exhibit acquired hypoprothrombinemia due to the presence of autoantibodies which bind to prothrombin and remove it from the bloodstream (lupus anticoagulant ...
Deficiencies of either protein components of the prothrombinase complex are very rare. Factor V deficiency, also called parahemophilia, is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder with an approximate incidence of 1 in 1,000,000. [22] Congenital factor X deficiency is also extremely rare, affecting an estimated 1 in 1,000,000. [23]
A number of different mediating factors can cause this condition; either from within the blood cell itself (intrinsic factors) or outside of the cell (extrinsic factors). [39] Congenital hemolytic anemia: Fanconi anemia: D61.0: 4745: D005199 Fanconi anemia is a rare genetic autosomal recessive aplastic anemia that involves chromosomes 9q and ...

Scott syndrome is a rare congenital bleeding disorder that is due to a defect in a platelet mechanism required for blood coagulation. [1]Normally when a vascular injury occurs (i.e., a cut, scrape or other injury that causes bleeding), platelets are activated and phosphatidylserine (PS) in the inner leaflet of the platelet membrane is transported to the outer leaflet of the platelet membrane ...

Most people never develop a blood clot in their lifetimes. [1] It is due to a specific gene mutation in which a guanine is changed to an adenine at position 20210 of the DNA of the prothrombin gene. Other blood clotting pathway mutations that increase the risk of clots include factor V Leiden. Prothrombin G20210A was identified in the 1990s. [2]
