Hemophilia is a genetic condition characterized by marked phenotypic heterogeneity. Bleeding into a joint is the single most important risk factor for the development of hemophilic arthropathy (HA). It is thought that clinical and imaging manifestations of HA are at least partially attributable to genetic polymorphisms unrelated to the hemophilia genotype. Identifying and characterizing biologic factors that could explain differences in susceptibility to joint degeneration of patients with hemophilia would help stratify patients according to the risk of degeneration of their joints and develop personalized therapeutic and prophylactic strategies. This study is conducted in China.
