Interactions between genotype and phenotype in bleeding and thrombosis.

چکیده
The hemostatic balance is the result of an equilibrium between procoagulant and anticoagulant factors that interact with each other to ensure hemostasis at sites of vascular injury. Abnormalities of hemostatic factors due to defects in the corresponding genes can result in a tendency to hemorrhage or thrombosis. In the last few decades, the progressive identification of the mechanisms underlying coagulation disorders led to the awareness that clinical phenotypes are only rarely the result of single gene defects but are more often influenced by multiple factors. Interactions between different genes or between genes and other acquired factors may account for the phenotypic variability of most coagulation disorders, by improving or worsening their clinical manifestations.1 Examples of interactions between genotype and phenotype in both hemorrhagic and thrombotic disorders are given in this article.

Background: Bleeding assessment tools are key components in the evaluation of patients suspicious for bleeding disorders. The exact determination of the normal ranges of ISTH-BAT (International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis –Bleeding Assessment Tool) in the healthy population is a crucial step for determining who needs to be referred for further coagulation laboratory examinations. We ai...

متن کاملStudy of Kell blood group genotype in alloimmiunized thalassemia patients
Abstract Background and Objectives Alloimmunization is the most serious problem in thalassemia patients and Anti-K is the most prevalent antibody in these patients. So accurate identification of this antigen can significantly decrease the rate of alloimmunization. Serological phenotyping is usually not reliable in multi-transfused patients. Molecular genotyping can overcome limitations of hema...
