Rare Inherited Bleedig Disorders in Children at Sohag University Hospital

May 15, 2022 updated by: Arwa Kadry Khalaf, Sohag University

The RBDs are autosomal disorders, which can be manifested in homozygotes or compound heterozygotes by a severe bleeding tendency caused by a severe deficiency or dysfunction of a clotting factor . (1) During the haemostatic response the formation of primary platelet plug limits bleeding and provides a surface for clotting factors to assemble and become activated .the initial platelet plug is stabilized by fibrin monomers ,covalently cross-linked by fXIII, forming a platelet fibrin thrombus .(2-5) Defect in platelets as well as inherited deficiencies of coagulation factors including fibrinogen ,FII,fV , FVII,FX, fXI and factor FXIII deficiencies , generally lead to lifelong bleeding disorders whose severity of bleeding symptoms is heterogeneous in platelet abnormalities but generally inversely proportional to the degree of the factor deficiency in rare bleeding disorders (RBDs). (4) the prevalence of platelet defects among the general population has not been established , whereas for RBDs it range from approximately 1in 2 million to 500,000, being higher in countries where consanguineous marriages are diffused .(6)

  • As a consequence of the rarity of these deficiencies ,the type and severity of bleeding symptoms ,the underlying molecular defects and the actual management of bleeding episodes are not well established . (1) Platelet defects can alter circulating platelet numbers, function or both. These conditions are typically manifested by symptoms of excessive mucocutaneous bleeding and rapid onset, excessive bleeding following invasive surgical and dental procedures or trauma. There is considerable heterogeneity in the severity of bleeding problems associated with these defects. (7) Treatment of patients with RBDs during bleeding episodes or surgery is a challenge because of the lack of experience, paucity of data, non-availability of factor concentrates for some deficiency states and the possible occurrence of severe complications .(8) Patients who are homozygotes or compound heterozygotes for a RBD frequently present with spontaneous and or injury-related bleeding. Therapy during such episodes usually includes fresh frozen plasma or specific plasma-derived factor concentrates, which potentially carry significant risks and have adverse effects. (9,10)
