Malmo International Brother Study (MIBS): an international survey of brother pairs with haemophilia

Astermark, Jan LU and Berntorp, Erik LU (1999) In Vox Sanguinis 77(Suppl. 1). p.80-82
Abstract
Malmo International Brother Study (MIBS) was initiated in 1996 in order to set up an international registry of twins and non-twin brothers with haemophilia and to search for genetic and compound factors predisposing for inhibitor development. As of July, 1997, 178 brother pairs are registered (143 haemophilia A and 35 haemophilia B patients). Sixteen of these pairs are twins. In 48 of the brother pairs (27%) there is a history of inhibitors, in 25 of them involving only one of the brothers. Immune tolerance induction has been attempted in 13 brother pairs (27%) and in four pairs the inhibitor has been eradicated. Additional demographic data need to be collected and, if possible plasma, IgG and DNA samples will be taken from inhibitor... (More)
