Abstract
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. 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. This study was carried out in 100 patients with hemophilia A. Genotyping for factor V Leiden (FVL) G1691A, prothrombin G20210A, MTHFR C677T, and A1298C mutations was conducted using a real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay. Our study revealed mutations in hemophilia patients as follows: prothrombin G20210A (3 %), FVL (14 %), MTHFR C677T (42 %), and A1298C (59 %). Despite a lack of statistical significance when each gene was analysed separately, heterozygosity of prothrombin G20210A or FVL was always associated with either a mild or moderate, but never a severe, clinical presentation. The lowest bleeding frequency (less than once per month) was identified a...Continue Reading
