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;
