Abstract
The incidence of hereditary bleeding and thrombotic disorders in the developed world is well known. However, majority of the patients live, and are cared for, in developing countries, where data on incidence is limited (Nathwani and Tuddenham, 1992). Some haemostasis and thrombosis centres in the UK serve populations with large south Asian groups. The nature and incidence of haemostasis disorder seen in these groups will partly reflect those in the country of origin but other factors, such as the degree of consanguinity, may also be important.
