What is congenital afibrinogenemia?
Congenital afibrinogenemia is an inherited (genetic) blood disorder in which the blood doesn't clot normally because there is a lack of blood clotting factor I. Therefore patients are at a higher risk for bleeding. Symptoms include bruising, and excessive bleeding after surgery or injury.
