Preferred Label : Hemophilia a;

Symbol : HEMA;

CISMeF acronym : HEMA;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Hemophilia, classic;

Description : Hemophilia A is an X-linked recessive bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in the activity of coagulation factor VIII. The disorder is clinically heterogeneous with variable severity, depending on the plasma levels of coagulation factor VIII: mild, with levels 6 to 30% of normal; moderate, with levels 2 to 5% of normal; and severe, with levels less than 1% of normal. Patients with mild hemophilia usually bleed excessively only after trauma or surgery, whereas those with severe hemophilia have an annual average of 20 to 30 episodes of spontaneous or excessive bleeding after minor trauma, particularly into joints and muscles. These symptoms differ substantially from those of bleeding disorders due to platelet defects or von Willebrand disease (193400), in which mucosal bleeding predominates (review by Mannucci and Tuddenham, 2001).;

Inheritance : X-linked recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutations in the coagulation factor VIII gene (F8, 306700.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : PTT prolonged; PT normal; Factor VIII deficiency; Bleeding time normal; Platelet count normal; Platelet function normal;

Prefixed ID : #306700;
