Factor XI Deficiency is also known as:
• Haemophilia C
• Hemophilia C
• Plasma Thromboplastin Antecedent Deficiency
• PTA Deficiency
• Rosenthal Syndrome
What is Factor XI Deficiency?
Factor XI Deficiency is a rare genetic bleeding disorder caused by reduced levels and insufficient activity of a blood protein called Factor XI. Factor XI is a clotting factor. Clotting factors are specialized proteins that are essential for proper clotting, the process by which blood solidifies like glue to plug the site of a wound to stop bleeding. Individuals with Factor XI Deficiency do not bleed faster or more profusely than healthy individuals, but, because their blood clots poorly, they may have difficulty stopping the flow of blood from a deep or surgical wound. This may be referred to as prolonged bleeding or a prolonged bleeding episode. The severity of symptoms in Factor XI Deficiency are not clearly related to the blood Factor XI level. In most individuals, prolonged bleeding episodes only occur after surgery, dental procedures or trauma. Bleeding tendencies in Factor XI Deficiency are unpredictable and inconsistent, making the disorder difficult to manage in some cases.

Factor XII Deficiency is also known as:

• Hageman Trait
What is Factor XII Deficiency?
Factor XII Deficiency is a rare genetic blood disorder that causes prolonged clotting of blood in a test tube without the presence of prolonged clinical bleeding tendencies. It is caused by a deficiency of the Factor XII (Hageman factor), a plasma protein. Specifically, Factor XII is a clotting factor. Clotting factors are specialized proteins that are essential for proper clotting, the process by which blood clumps together to plug the site of a wound to stop bleeding. Although it is thought that Factor XII is needed for proper blood clotting, when it is deficient, other blood clotting factors appear to compensate for its absence.

Factor XIII Deficiency is also known as:

What is Factor XIII Deficiency?
Factor XIII Deficiency is a rare, genetic bleeding disorder characterized by deficiency of clotting Factor XIII. Clotting factors are specialized proteins that are essential for the blood to clot properly. Specifically, individuals with Factor XIII Deficiency form blood clots like normal, but these clots are unstable and often break down, resulting in prolonged, uncontrolled bleeding episodes. Factor XIII also affects other processes in the body and is known to play a role in proper wound healing and pregnancy.

In some people, phosphate may not be well-absorbed in the intestines. The hypophosphatemia resulting from these impairments can lead to a skeletal defect called osteomalacia, or a softening of bones. Familial Hypophosphatemia also results in rickets, a childhood bone disease with characteristic bow deformities of the legs, as well as growth plate abnormalities and progressive softening of the bone as occurs in osteomalacia. In adults, the growth plate is not present so that osteomalacia is the evident bone problem. In children, growth rates may be impaired, frequently resulting in short stature.
