Prediction of hemophilia A severity using a small-input machine-learning framework

Abstract Hemophilia A is a relatively rare hereditary coagulation disorder caused by a defective F8 gene resulting in a dysfunctional Factor VIII protein (FVIII). This condition impairs the coagulation cascade, and if left untreated, it causes permanent joint damage and poses a risk of fatal intracr...
