Genetics and blood testing for inherited bleeding disorders
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at genes and blood function in people with inherited (passed-down) problems with platelets, white blood cells, or blood clotting. It may help improve understanding of the cause of these conditions and how they work in the body.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18+) if you are enrolling as a healthy volunteer
- You may qualify if you or a relative has an inherited platelet disorder, inherited white blood cell disorder, or inherited blood clotting disorder (including von Willebrand disease)
- Tell the team if you have taken aspirin or similar anti-platelet medicine in the past week (it may affect results)
- If you have donated blood recently, you may need to meet limits on how much blood you can donate in the last 8 weeks
- If you’re a patient, your allowed blood draw depends on your recent hematocrit value (a measure in a blood test) or whether it is unknown

This study is for adults with Glanzmann thrombasthenia, a rare bleeding disorder. It aims to learn more about the condition and how to care for patients.
This study uses special video imaging to try to predict when bleeding may happen in certain inherited bleeding disorders. It may help doctors better anticipate bleeding and guide safer care.
This trial is testing a medication called eptacog beta (a clotting factor) to see if it helps control or prevent severe bleeding episodes in people with Glanzmann's thrombasthenia, a rare inherited bleeding disorder.
This trial is studying children with Glanzmann thrombasthenia who are currently having bleeding episodes. It aims to understand the pattern of bleeding and how the condition shows up in children.
This trial uses early genetic testing to find the cause of unexplained bleeding in people who may have an inherited bleeding disorder. The goal is to see if genetic testing can help diagnose these conditions sooner.
This Swiss study looks at people with unexplained bleeding by using a standardized bleeding score and taking a blood sample. It may help researchers better understand possible bleeding causes even when the reason isn’t clear yet.
