Inherited FXIII deficiency is a rare inherited autosomal recessive bleeding disorder affecting 1\u20133\u00a0million people globally and demonstrating strong consanguinity contributing to high incidence of cases in Pakistan. Patients manifesting severe illness are homozygotes or compound heterozygotes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aims to estimate phenotypic traits, genetic alterations, and carrier rates in families with known genetic abnormalities in individuals with Factor XIII deficiency.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study was approved by Advanced Studies Research Board and Ethical Review Committee of LUMHS, Jamshoro and conducted in concordance with Declaration of Helsinki 2000 in collaboration at the Biochemistry Department of LUMHS and Haematology Department, Baqai medical university, Karachi.
