Coagulation Disorders: Introduction
Deficiencies of coagulation factors have been recognized for centuries.
Patients with genetic deficiencies of plasma coagulation factors exhibit lifelong
recurrent bleeding episodes into joints, muscles, and closed spaces, either
spontaneously or following an injury. The most common inherited factor
deficiencies are the hemophilias, X-linked diseases caused by deficiency of Factor
(F) VIII (hemophilia A) or Factor IX (FIX, hemophilia B). Rare congenital
bleeding disorders due to deficiencies of other factors, including FII
(prothrombin), FV, FVII, FX, FXI, FXIII, and fibrinogen are usually inherited in
an autosomal recessive manner (Table 110-1). Advances in characterization of the
molecular bases of clotting factor deficiencies have contributed to a better
understanding of the disease phenotypes and may allow more targeted therapeutic
approaches through the development of small molecules, recombinant proteins, or
cell and gene-based therapies.
