Abstract
The rare coagulation disorders are heritable abnormalities of haemostasis that may present significant difficulties in diagnosis and management. This review summarizes the current literature for disorders of fibrinogen, and deficiencies of prothrombin, factor V, FV + VIII, FVII, FX, the combined vitamin K-dependent factors, FXI and FXIII. Based on both collective clinical experience and the literature, guidelines for management of bleeding complications are suggested with specific advice for surgery, spontaneous bleeding, management of pregnancy and the neonate. We have chosen to include a section on Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome because haematologists may be consulted about bleeding manifestations in such patients.

Guidelines for the laboratory investigation of heritable disorders of platelet function.

TL;DR: The objective of this guideline is to provide healthcare professionals with clear guidance on platelet function testing in patients with suspected bleeding disorders and in all cases individual patient circumstances may dictate an alternative approach.

Ehlers‐Danlos syndromes: Revised nosology, Villefranche, 1997

TL;DR: This work proposes a revision of the classification of the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes based primarily on the cause of each type based on major and minor diagnostic criteria defined for each type and complemented whenever possible with laboratory findings.

Mutations in VKORC1 cause warfarin resistance and multiple coagulation factor deficiency type 2

TL;DR: The gene vitamin K epoxide reductase complex subunit 1 (VKORC1), which encodes a small transmembrane protein of the endoplasmic reticulum, is identified, by using linkage information from three species, to be involved in two heritable human diseases.

Factor XI activation in a revised model of blood coagulation.

TL;DR: A revised model of coagulation is proposed in which factor XI is activated by thrombin, and part of this effect is due to autoactivation of factor XI by activated factor XI.

Mutations in the ER–Golgi Intermediate Compartment Protein ERGIC-53 Cause Combined Deficiency of Coagulation Factors V and VIII

TL;DR: Findings suggest that ERGIC-53 may function as a molecular chaperone for the transport from ER to Golgi of a specific subset of secreted proteins, including coagulation factors V and VIII.
