Overview
Differentiating Hemophilia with other Diseases
Hemophilia A can be mimicked by von Willebrand Disease
- Von Willebrand Disease type 2A, where decreased levels of von Willebrand Factor can lead to premature proteolysis of Factor VIII. In contrast to haemophilia, vWD type 2A is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion.
- Von Willebrand Disease type 2N, where von Willebrand Factor cannot bind Factor VIII
- Von Willebrand Disease type 3, where lack of von Willebrand Factor causes premature proteolysis of Factor VIII. In contrast to haemophilia, vWD type 3 is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion.
