Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To correlate the Human Leukocyte Antigen type and genetic defect with hemophilia A.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

One of the most serious complications of treatment in patients with hemophilia A or hemophilia B is the development of an inhibitor, which is an antibody that neutralizes the factor VIII or IX coagulant activity. Up to one fourth of patients with severe hemophilia A develop an inhibitor but at present it is not possible to predict which patients will develop such antibody. The ability to predict an inhibitor development at an individual level would greatly improve therapeutic approach to this serious problem
