Description:: The best known and most common bleeding disorders are Haemophilia A (Factor VIII deficiency), Haemophilia B (Factor IX deficiency) and von Willebrand Disease. However, these do not represent all bleeding disorders. There are a large number of rarer bleeding disorders both of coagulation factors and of platelets. This publication deals with nine disorders affecting coagulation factors I, II, V, VII, X, XI and XIII, in addition to two disorders affecting platelets. Generally the prevalence of these rarer bleedings disorders varies from 1: 100,000 (Factor XI deficiency) to 1: 3 million (Factor XIII deficiency). The prevelance of many of these rare bleeding disorders is higher in Ireland. The reasons for this are not clear, but a small gene pool of large family sizes in the past may be contributory factors. At the time of production of this booklet, there are 443 people with rare bleeding disorders registered with the National Centre for Hereditary Coagulation Disorders in Ireland
