Abstract

Factor VII is a clotting factor produced by the liver that interacts with tissue factor to initiate blood coagulation. Deficiency of factor VII can present with variable bleeding symptoms. There is a lack of correlation between clinical phenotypes and FVII coagulant activity. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion. Outcomes and management options are discussed in context of a case presentation.
