Overview
Haemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot properly because of a deficiency or absence of specific clotting factors, the proteins needed to form stable blood clots. As a result, people with haemophilia may bleed for longer than usual after injury or surgery and can experience spontaneous bleeding, particularly into joints and muscles, which over time may cause damage and disability. The condition is most often inherited in an X-linked pattern and therefore predominantly affects males, while females can be carriers and may have milder bleeding tendencies. The most common forms are haemophilia A, caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII, and haemophilia B, caused by a deficiency of factor IX, with severity ranging from mild to severe depending on how much functional clotting factor is present. Other rarer factor deficiencies also exist. In addition to inherited forms, haemophilia can occasionally be acquired later in life when the body produces antibodies against its own clotting factors. Research published through OpenAccessPub journals has described both acquired haemophilia and rarer clotting factor deficiencies, including factor XI deficiency, also known as haemophilia C. As a topic within Hematology and Oncology Research, haemophilia reflects the field's study of blood, clotting disorders, and their diagnosis and management. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to haemophilia.
