Symptomatic haemophilia A in female carriers is a form of haemophilia A that manifests in some women with mutations in the F8 gene (Xq28), encoding coagulation factor VIII. Symptoms include abnormal bleeding as a result of minor injuries, or following surgery or tooth extraction. Spontaneous haemorrhages may occur occasionally. Transmission is X-linked recessive.
