A
Factor- XIII deficiency

High-Yield Explanation
Congenital factor XIII deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disease usually associated with a severe bleeding diathesis. Bleeding typically is delayed, because clots form normally but are susceptible to fibrinolysis. Umbilical stump bleeding is characteristic, and there is a high risk of intracranial bleeding. Replacement can be accomplished with FFP, cryoprecipitate, or a factor XIII concentrate. Ref: Gonzalez E.A., Jastrow K.M., Holcomb J.B., Kozar R.A. (2010). Chapter 4.
