Overview
The pathogenesis of Hemophilia A is characterized by genetic deficiency in Factor VIII.
Pathophysiology
- The F8 gene associated with the development of Hemophilia A is located close to the tip Xq, and affects production of clotting factor VIII. Abnormalities in the F8 gene cause a relative deficiency in factor VIII, resulting in improper hemostasis and abnormal or excessive bleeding. [1]
- This trait is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner, affecting males and homozygous females (very rare).
- One-third of new cases of Hemophilia A are due to spontaneous mutations in the X chromosome, not inherited from either parent.
- In rare cases, individuals may develop hemophilia later in life. This acquired form of the disease results from development of antibodies to factor VIII.[2][3]
