Concept ID:
C5676879
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Thrombophilia 13, X-linked, due to factor VIII defect; THROMBOPHILIA, X-LINKED, DUE TO FACTOR VIII DEFECT
 
Gene (location): F8 (Xq28)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0859082
OMIM®: 301071

Definition

X-linked thrombophilia due to factor VIII defect (THPH13) is associated with markedly elevated F8 levels and severe thrombophilia (summary by Simioni et al., 2021). [from OMIM]

Clinical features

From HPO
Pulmonary embolism
MedGen UID:
11027
Concept ID:
C0034065
Pathologic Function
An embolus (that is, an abnormal particle circulating in the blood) located in the pulmonary artery and thereby blocking blood circulation to the lung. Usually the embolus is a blood clot that has developed in an extremity (for instance, a deep venous thrombosis), detached, and traveled through the circulation before becoming trapped in the pulmonary artery.
Deep venous thrombosis
MedGen UID:
57448
Concept ID:
C0149871
Disease or Syndrome
Formation of a blot clot in a deep vein. The clot often blocks blood flow, causing swelling and pain. The deep veins of the leg are most often affected.
Increased factor VIII activity
MedGen UID:
1393349
Concept ID:
C4476890
Finding
Increased activity of the coagulation factor VIII. Factor VIII (fVIII) is a cofactor in the intrinsic clotting cascade that is activated to fVIIIa in the presence of minute quantities of thrombin. fVIIIa acts as a receptor, for factors IXa and X.
