Carriers of haemophilia are known to have a wide range of clotting factor levels and bleeding symptoms. This study aimed at investigating whether carriers of severe and moderate haemophilia had an increased bleeding tendency, compared with a control group, using a condensed version of a bleeding assessment tool developed by the Molecular and Clinical Markers for the Diagnosis and Management of Type 1 VWD study group (MCMDM-1VWD). One hundred and twenty-six genetically verified carriers of severe and moderate haemophilia and 90 controls were interviewed regarding bleeding symptoms. A bleeding score of at least 4 was considered positive, indicating a significant bleeding tendency. Clotting factor levels were tested in the carriers. Nineteen of the women were carriers of haemophilia B, with a mean factor (F)IX:C level of 0.54(+/- 0.27) kIU/l, and 107 were carriers of haemophilia A, with a mean FVIII: C level of 0.74 (+/- 0.32) kIU/l. The median bleeding score was 2 (-3-12) among carriers and -1 (-3-8) among controls (P
