Polymorphism in factor VII gene modifies phenotype of severe haemophilia

The basis for 10–15% of patients with severe haemophilia having clinically mild disease is not fully understood. We hypothesized that polymorphisms in various coagulant factors may affect frequency of bleeding while functionally significant polymorphisms in inflammatory and immunoregulatory genes ma...

Zusammenfassung:The basis for 10–15% of patients with severe haemophilia having clinically mild disease is not fully understood. We hypothesized that polymorphisms in various coagulant factors may affect frequency of bleeding while functionally significant polymorphisms in inflammatory and immunoregulatory genes may also contribute to variations in the extent of joint damage. These variables were studied in patients with severe haemophilia, who were categorized as ‘mild’ (
