An update on the EAHAD Databases of Clotting Factor Variants
By Christopher Ludlam, Chairman, Steering Group
The EAHAD databases of genetic variants in clotting factors VII, VIII, IX and VWF continue to be very popular with clinicians and researchers from around the world. Our curators strive to keep the records up to date and to provide detailed, additional clinical information about, for example, the presence of inhibitors. The provision of molecular models revealing the site of variation is particularly useful, as demonstrated in the figure below.
