Abstract

Genetic counselling in hereditary bleeding disorders mainly concerns haemophilia, since the other disorders i.e. thrombocytopathy of Glanzmann-Naegeli and the inherited coagulation-factor deficiencies of factors ii, v, vii, x, and xi are rare and show autosomal inheritance. Only homozygotes for these pathologic genes have a tendency to bleed, and genetic advice would be relevant only with respect to an intrafamilial marriage.
