Factor V Leiden is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that exhibits incomplete penetrance, i.e. not every person who has the mutation develops the disease. The condition results in a factor V variant that cannot be as easily degraded by activated protein C. The gene that codes the protein is referred to as F5.
The genetic cause of Bare lymphocyte syndrome type II is due to mutations in any of the following genes: [5]. CIITA is responsible for giving instructions to create a protein that controls transcription of genes (MHC class II), and is located at 16p13.13 (cytogenetic location), [6]
The homozygous HFE-H63D mutation is the cause of classic and treatable hemochromatosis in only 6.7% of its carriers. [25] H63D syndrome is independently a distinct entity, and the incidence in homozygous carriers of the H63D mutation is approximately 10%. [26]
In medical genetics, compound heterozygosity is the condition of having two or more heterogeneous recessive alleles at a particular locus that can cause genetic disease in a heterozygous state; that is, an organism is a compound heterozygote when it has two recessive alleles for the same gene, but with those two alleles being different from each other (for example, both alleles might be ...
Heterozygous protein C deficiency occurs in 0.14–0.50% of the general population. [13] [14] Based on an estimated carrier rate of 0.2%, a homozygous or compound heterozygous protein C deficiency incidence of 1 per 4 million births could be predicted, although far fewer living patients have been identified. [6]

The genetic basis for BLSII is not due to defects in the MHC II genes themselves. The genetic basis is the result of mutations in genes that code for proteins (transcription factors) that regulate the expression (gene transcription) of the MHC II genes. That is, one of the several proteins that are required to switch on MHC II genes is absent.
The tragic incident comes after Jennifer spoke about her “incredible” ex-husband while discussing their divorce in a TikTok video posted on Dec. 10. “I’m about to be a newly single mom.
