Relevance: The commonest severe congenital bleeding disorder in all races is haemophilia A. The characteristic defect is a lack of coagulation factor VIII:C. Factor VIII:C is a glycoprotein that functions as a cofactor for factor IXa which, in the presence of calcium and phospholipids, converts factor X to the activated form Xa. This antibody binds to human FVIII:C heavy chain and inhibits its function.
