Abstract

The authors present a case of a coincidence of two very rare diseases in a female--hemophilia A and gonadal dysgenesis; both may be caused by chromosomal and genetic abnormalities. The girl, aged 22, presented severe hemophilia with excessive haematoma after bruising and recurrent hemarthroses, had undeveloped breasts and very hypoplastic internal genital organs. Laboratory tests revealed factor VIII: C - 1%, VIII R: AG - 160%, VIII:WF - 111%, 46, XX karyotype, elevated LH in urine - 25 IU/l. This coincidence had a beneficial effect since there was no menorrhagia.

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
