Summary. Factor X (FX) deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. The phenotype and genotype of 15 Iranian patients with FX deficiency from 13 unrelated families with a high frequency of consanguinity were analysed. Five different assays identified four patients from three families with a discrepancy between low‐FX coagulant activity (FX:C) and higher‐FX antigen (FX:Ag) (a type II deficiency). The remaining 11 patients had parallel reductions of FX:C and FX:Ag (a type I deficiency). Nine different homozygous candidate mutations were identified, of which eight were novel. The four type II cases were associated with an Arg(−1)Thr missense mutation in the prepropeptide: Arg(−1) is highly conserved in all vitamin K‐dependent proteins. Four type I mutations (Gly78Asp, Cys81Tyr, Gly94Arg and Asp95Glu) were localized to the EGF‐1 and EGF‐2 domains, for which molecular views showed that the protein folding would be disrupted. The type I mutation Gly222Asp was localized in the catalytic domain of FX, and is sufficiently close to the Asp‐His‐Ser catalytic triad to disrupt its correct protein folding. The two type I splice site mutations were IVS1+3, A→T and IVS2–3, T→G. These novel homozygous FX mutations were consistent with their phenotypes and agree with experimental data from knockout mice, indicating that FX is an essential protein for survival.
