Hemophilia C

A mild form of hemophilia that has an autosomal inheritance pattern characterized by Factor XI deficiency. Symptoms can be similar to Hemophilia A and B with the exception of hemarthrosis, which is a distinguishing feature. The disease is almost exclusively in Jews of Ashkenazi decent. Because the disease is mild, typically no treatment is required. Some cases such as pre-surgical patients, have been treated with FFP or recombinant Factor XI as necessary.
