Assay to document factor VII deficiency. Deficiency of factor VII should be considered in patients with a prolonged prothrombin time but a normal APTT. While isolated deficiency is rare, two forms exist. Both are autosomal recessive and affect both sexes. In one form the VII molecules are decreased while In the second group an abnormally formed molecule is produced. Bleeding symptoms may be severe in homozygotes and include epistaxis, ecchymoses, GI bleeding, hemarthroses, menorrhagia, and umbilical cord hemorrhage. Fatal cerebral hemorrhage may occur. Heterozygotes are usually asymptomatic. Homozygotes have prolonged prothrombin time (corrected by adding normal plasma) but normal APTT, cephalin activated clotting time, and thrombin time.

Methodology: PT based clotting method.

High doses of standard heparin (greater than 1.0 U/mL) may interfere with a PT mixing study. Anti-Xa agents such as Rivaroxaban may also interfere with PT mixing studies. Clinical correlation is advised.
