Tailoring the effect of antithrombin-targeting therapy in haemophilia A using in silico thrombin generation

Abstract Factor (F) VIII deficiency causes bleeding in haemophilia A patients because of the reduced formation of procoagulant enzyme thrombin, which is needed to make the blood clot. We measured the dynamics of coagulation in haemophilia A patients by measuring thrombin generation (TG). Additionall...
