<h2>Description</h2>
<section><div class="mp-content"><p>Factor XI deficiency is a disorder that can cause abnormal bleeding due to a shortage (deficiency) of the factor XI protein, which is involved in blood clotting. This condition is classified as either partial or severe based on the degree of deficiency of the factor XI protein. However, regardless of the severity of the protein deficiency, most affected individuals have relatively mild bleeding problems, and some people with this disorder have few if any symptoms. The most common feature of factor XI deficiency is prolonged bleeding after trauma or surgery, especially involving the inside of the mouth and nose (<a class="image-modal" data-alt="Anatomy of the pharynx (throat).

Urine is made in the renal tubules and collects in the renal pelvis of each kidney. The urine flows from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder. The urine is stored in the bladder until it leaves the body through the urethra." data-credit="© 2010 Terese Winslow LLC for the National Cancer Institute" data-filepath="images/PX0001VY_PRESENTATION.jpeg" data-imgtype="genetics" data-pix="PX0001VY" data-sourceurl="https://visualsonline.cancer.gov/details.cfm?imageid=9754" data-title="Male and female urinary system" href="https://medlineplus.gov/images/PX0001VY_PRESENTATION.jpeg" id="PX0001VY_2" title="Show image">urinary tract<img alt="" aria-hidden="true" class="image-modal-icon" src="https://medlineplus.gov/css/img/icon_camera_small.png"/></a>. If the bleeding is left untreated after surgery, solid swellings consisting of congealed blood (hematomas) can develop in the surgical area.</p><p>Other signs and symptoms of this disorder can include frequent nosebleeds, easy bruising, bleeding under the skin, and bleeding of the gums. Women with this disorder can have heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) or prolonged bleeding after childbirth. In contrast to some other bleeding disorders, spontaneous bleeding into the urine (hematuria), gastrointestinal tract, or skull cavity are not common in factor XI deficiency, although they can occur in severely affected individuals. Bleeding into the muscles or joints, which can cause long-term disability in other bleeding disorders, generally does not occur in this condition.</p></div>

<div class="mp-exp exp-full" data-bookmark="frequency">
<h2>Frequency</h2>
<section><div class="mp-content"><p>Factor XI deficiency is estimated to affect approximately 1 in 1 million people worldwide. The severe deficiency disorder is much more common in people with central and eastern European (Ashkenazi) Jewish ancestry, occurring in about 1 in 450 individuals in that population. Researchers suggest that the actual prevalence of factor XI deficiency may be higher than reported, because mild cases of the disorder often do not come to medical attention.</p></div>

<div class="mp-exp exp-full" data-bookmark="causes">
<h2>Causes</h2>
<section><div class="mp-content"><p>Most cases of factor XI deficiency are caused by mutations in the <i><a data-pid="19827" href="https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/gene/f11/">F11</a></i> gene, which provides instructions for making the factor XI protein. This protein plays a role in the coagulation cascade, which is a series of chemical reactions that forms <a class="image-modal" data-alt="Red blood cells and platelets normal flow through blood vessels. When there is an injury, activated plates and fibrin form a blood clot at the site of injury, blocking the flow of blood out of the vessel." data-caption="" data-credit="Alila Medical Media/Shutterstock.com" data-filepath="images/PX0000RC_PRESENTATION.jpeg" data-imgtype="genetics" data-pix="PX0000RC" data-sourceurl="" data-title="Blood clot formation" href="https://medlineplus.gov/images/PX0000RC_PRESENTATION.jpeg" id="PX0000RC_2" title="Show image">blood clots<img alt="" aria-hidden="true" class="image-modal-icon" src="https://medlineplus.gov/css/img/icon_camera_small.png"/></a> in response to injury. After an injury, clots seal off blood vessels to stop bleeding and trigger blood vessel repair.</p><p>Mutations in the <i>F11</i> gene result in a shortage (deficiency) of functional factor XI. This deficiency impairs the coagulation cascade, slowing the process of blood clotting and leading to the bleeding problems associated with this disorder. The amount of functional factor XI remaining varies depending on the particular mutation and whether one or both copies of the <i>F11</i> gene in each cell have mutations. However, the severity of the bleeding problems in affected individuals does not necessarily correspond to the amount of factor XI in the bloodstream, and can vary even within the same family. Other genetic and environmental factors likely play a role in determining the severity of this condition.</p><p>Some cases of factor XI deficiency are not caused by <i>F11</i> gene mutations. In these cases, the condition is called acquired factor XI deficiency. It can be caused by other disorders such as conditions in which the immune system malfunctions and attacks the factor XI protein. Because factor XI is made primarily by cells in the <a class="image-modal" data-alt="The liver is in the upper abdomen near the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, and pancreas." data-caption="The liver is in the upper abdomen near the stomach, intestines, gallbladder, and pancreas.

In addition, approximately 25 percent of people with another disorder called <a data-pid="14559" href="https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/noonan-syndrome/">Noonan syndrome</a> have factor XI deficiency.</p></div>
