  2. Haemophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemophilia

    Haemophilia C is an autosomal genetic disorder involving a lack of functional clotting Factor XI. Haemophilia C is not completely recessive, as heterozygous individuals also show increased bleeding. [42] The type of haemophilia known as parahaemophilia is a mild and rare form and is due to a deficiency in factor V. This type can be inherited or ...

  3. Thrombophilia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombophilia

    Thrombophilia can be congenital or acquired. Congenital thrombophilia refers to inborn conditions (and usually hereditary, in which case "hereditary thrombophilia" may be used) that increase the tendency to develop thrombosis, while, on the other hand, acquired thrombophilia refers to conditions that arise later in life.

  4. Antithrombin III deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antithrombin_III_deficiency

    Antithrombin III deficiency (abbreviated ATIII deficiency) is a deficiency of antithrombin III.This deficiency may be inherited or acquired. [1] It is a rare hereditary disorder that generally comes to light when a patient suffers recurrent venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, and repetitive intrauterine fetal death (IUFD). [2]

  5. Renal vein thrombosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renal_vein_thrombosis

    Hypercoagulability can be inherited and/or acquired. Hyperhomocysteinemia, a condition known to promote clots, can be caused by a combination of genetic factors and vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and folic acid deficiency. [8] Factor V Leiden and mutations of the prothrombin gene are the two most common genetic causes of hypercoagulability. About 5% ...

  6. Factor V - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factor_V

    They are the most common hereditary causes for thrombophilia (a tendency to form blood clots). The most common one of these, factor V Leiden, is due to the replacement of an arginine residue with glutamine at amino acid position 506 (R506Q). All prothrombotic factor V mutations (factor V Leiden, factor V Cambridge, factor V Hong Kong) make it ...

  7. Protein C deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_C_deficiency

    Babies with severe protein C deficiency may experience symptoms within hours or days of their birth. Some symptoms include blood clots primarily in the blood vessels of the limbs (purpura fulminans, disseminated intravascular coagulation), abnormal bleeding into affected areas, and large purple patches or spots anywhere on the body.

    Blood clots in veins don't typically cause strokes, but they can lead to deep vein thrombosis, aka the reason you should stretch your legs during a long flight. Clots that form in the deep veins ...

  9. Activated protein C resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activated_protein_C_resistance

    This results in an increased risk of venous thrombosis (blood clots in veins), which resulting in medical conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (usually in the leg) and pulmonary embolism (in the lung, which can cause death). [1] The most common cause of hereditary APC resistance is factor V Leiden mutation.
