Congenital factor X deficiency

Congenital factor X deficiency refers to a hereditary bleeding tendency caused by a partial or complete lack of the coagulation factor X. It is passed on autosomal recessive. Both men and women are equally affected. The severity of bleeding events is related to the level of factor X.

Symptoms include severe umbilical hernia, epistaxis, soft-tissue bleeding, menorrhagia, skin bleeding, hematuria, hemarthrosis, and excessive bleeding during or after surgery and/or injury.
