One in 100 people worldwide carry an inherited bleeding disorder gene, and 1 in 10 of these, has symptoms severe enough to require medical care. Many of them have not yet been properly diagnosed! 

Bleeding disorders are a family of diseases in which blood proteins or platelets that help the blood to clot are missing or do not function properly, resulting in prolonged bleeding. While surface cuts and abrasions can create minor problems, the main risk for children and adults with these disorders is internal bleeding, mainly into muscles and joints or vital organs, which can cause death. For women there are additional risks: heavy menstrual periods, which in the absence of proper diagnosis can lead to unnecessary hysterectomies, and the risk of hemorrhaging during childbirth.
 
For all people with bleeding disorders prolonged bleeding after injury or surgery can be life threatening. 



Bleeding disorders include Hemophilia A and B, von Willebrand Disease, Platelet function disorders and Rare factor deficiencies.

Plus d'un individu sur 100 est porteur du gène d'un trouble héréditaire de la coagulation, et on estime qu'un sur dix d'entre eux présentent des symptômes assez graves pour exiger un traitement médical. Mais, un bon nombre de ces personnes n'ont pas encore été diagnostiquées correctement... et souffrent inutilement.

Les troubles de la coagulation appartiennent à une famille de maladies où les protéines sanguines ou plaquettes qui aident le sang à coaguler sont manquantes ou ne fonctionnent pas correctement, ce qui entraîne des saignements prolongés. Alors que les coupures superficielles et les abrasions peuvent créer des problèmes mineurs, le principal risque pour les enfants et adultes atteints de ce trouble est le saignement interne, principalement dans les muscles et les articulations ou dans les organes vitaux, ce qui peut entraîner la mort. Chez la femme, il y a davantage de risques : des règles abondantes qui, en l’absence de diagnostic approprié, peuvent mener à des hystérectomies inutiles, et le danger d’hémorragie lors de l’accouchement.



Les troubles de la coagulation incluent l'hémophilie A et B, la maladie de von Willebrand, les dysfonctions plaquettaires, et autres déficiences rares en facteur de coagulation.
