Impact of Prothrombotic Risk Factors in a Cohort of Egyptian Hemophilia A Patients.

Introduction: Hemophilias are a group of related bleeding disorders that show an X-linked pattern of inheritance. The clinical phenotype of severe hemophilia may vary markedly among patients as a result of many factors, including genetic prothrombotic risk factors.

Objectives: Our objective was to study the incidence of the most common prothrombotic risk factors for additive effects among Egyptian patients with hemophilia A and their impact on clinical phenotype; annual bleeding frequency and severity of hemophilic arthropathy, as well as the effect of a single variation in these patients.
