Abstract:Blood coagulation relies on a cascade of protein-protein interactions that comprise two primary downstream pathways (intrinsic and extrinsic 1 ). Individuals deficient in certain coagulation pathway proteins, also known as clotting factors, may present with primary or secondary bleeding disorders (coagulopathies). For example, hemophilia results from genetic alterations to factors VIII, IX or XI, 2 while secondary bleeding disorders may result from dysregulation of clotting factors caused by underlying conditi… Show more
