F11
Associated conditions:
- Thrombophilia
F11 makes clotting factor XI, which helps generate the thrombin needed to form a stable blood clot. Genetic changes in this gene are associated with an autosomal recessive condition called factor XI deficiency (haemophilia C), leading to unpredictable bleeding that often shows up after surgery, dental work, or childbirth. Knowing your genetic status enables doctors to prevent excessive blood loss ahead of time.
Conditions linked to F11
Thrombophilia
Thrombophilia is an inherited tendency to form blood clots more easily than usual. It raises the risk of clots in the legs or lungs, especially around surgery, pregnancy or long travel, so knowing your status guides prevention at higher-risk times.
