Factor VII deficiency is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the F7 gene. Factor VII is an essential element in blood coagulation. Without proper levels, the body is unable to clot. This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning both parents must be carriers for offspring to be at risk of inheriting the disease.
