A second case of prothrombin Puerto Rico I in the United States.

Prothrombin deficiency is a very rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder associated with mild to severe bleeding symptoms. We identified this bleeding disorder in a US-born patient as due to prothrombin Puerto Rico I.

This case underscores the importance of family history in identifying rare bleeding disorders.
