Patient's question:

Can it be checked if the fetus lacks factor VIII?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if it is a deficiency of the 8th factor, it falls under hemophilia, which is a genetic disease and an inherited recessive disorder. Amniocentesis can be performed after 8 weeks of pregnancy to take amniotic fluid for genetic testing. Wishing you good health.
