Emory Multidisciplinary Bleeding Disorders Clinic is recognized as Georgia’s only comprehensive treatment center for our quality care, innovative research, extensive educational opportunities and support programs. Emory’s care team of nationally and internationally recognized practitioners have specialized training and expertise in providing personalized rare bleeding disorders care for your needs.
The Rare Coagulation Disorders Resource Room provides current and searchable information on the basic science, clinical management, available laboratory and genetic testing, clinical trials and global research initiatives for very rare and heterogeneous coagulation disorders. This dynamic, open-access website was developed through a collaboration of the international RBDD Registry, the Indiana Hemophilia & Thrombosis Center and the Rare Coagulation Disorders Subcommittee of the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF), a group appointed by NBDF’s Medical and Scientific Advisory Council.
What Are Rare Bleeding Disorders?
Although most bleeding disorders are not common, rare bleeding disorders are even more unusual and make up only about 3-5% of all bleeding disorders. Rare bleeding disorders can be deficiencies of other clotting factors like factor V, factor X, factor XI, and factor XIII as well as deficiencies of fibrinogen.
