Family History

The majority of male Registry participants across all severity levels and hemophilia types had a family history of hemophilia. Of the male participants with hemophilia A, a family history of hemophilia was present in 71%, not present in 23%, and unknown in 6%. Among participants with hemophilia B, a family history of hemophilia was present in 78%, not present in 17%, and unknown in 5%.  For both hemophilia A and B, a slightly lower percentage of males with severe hemophilia reported a family history in comparison to those with moderate or mild hemophilia (Figures 20 and 21).

Genetic Mutation

Among male Registry participants with hemophilia, the specific genetic mutation causing their hemophilia was unknown for 45% known for 37%, and information about genetic mutation information was not available for 18%.  As the severity level increased, it was more likely that the specific genetic mutation causing the hemophilia was known; among participants with mild, moderate, or severe hemophilia, the mutation was known for 30%, 33%, and 42%, respectively (Figure 22).
