In the series of 241 patients with congenital coagulation factor deficiencies studied in the Central Laboratory of FRC Blood Transfusion Service, 13 patients had factor XII, 4 factor V, 1 factor II and 5 factor XIII deficiency. The proportion of the rare defects in the total of congenital coagulation factor defects is more than double the ratio in any report published elsewhere. It is suggested that this high number of rare recessively inherited defects depends on the abnormal structure of Finnish rural population.
