Genetic and Bioinformatic Strategies to Improve Diagnosis in Three Inherited Bleeding Disorders in Bogotá, Colombia

Inherited bleeding disorders (IBDs) are the most frequent congenital diseases in the Colombian population; three of them are hemophilia A (HA), hemophilia B (HB), and von Willebrand Disease (VWD). Currently, diagnosis relies on multiple clinical laboratory assays to assign a phenotype. Due to the la...
