The shared decision-making (SDM) tool developed by the World Federation of Hemophilia (WFH) provides a clear and concise overview of the process by which people with haemophilia (PwH) can collaborate with their healthcare professionals (HCPs) to engage and arrive at a therapeutic decision. This tool will be useful for all people with all bleeding disorders, not just PwH.

Background: Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare platelet function disorder that results in severe bleeding. We assessed clinical symptoms and psychological parameters to identify the unmet needs associated with GT.
Objectives: Glanzmann's 360 is a mixed-methods study designed to give a contemporary snapshot of the impact of living with GT.
Introduction: Despite the progress in gene editing platforms like CRISPR/Cas9 with the potential to transform the standard of care for haemophilia, the language used to explain and discuss gene editing is not aligned across the haemophilia community. Here, we present the objective and rationale for developing a clear, consistent, and globally aligned gene editing lexicon to address these communication gaps.
Methods: Effectively communicating complex gene editing concepts requires a clear and consistent vocabulary.
