In 2014, the number of persons in the Registry was 3,161. The 2014 Registry participants account for 7.3% of the 43,522 unique participants with bleeding disorders who receive care at a U.S. HTC, as counted in the Community Counts HTC PP1. The distribution of the Registry participants across the United States is shown in Figure 1.The three most prevalent diagnoses were hemophilia A (n=1,855, 59%), hemophilia B (n=485, 15%), and VWD, type 1 (n =301, 10%). Other diagnoses each accounted for 2% or less among total participants in the Registry (Table 1). Approximately 66% of participants have a known family history of a bleeding disorder, 26% do not have a history (8% unknown). The specific genetic mutation causing the participant’s bleeding disorder was known for 32%.  Forty-six percent had not had genetic testing or the results of testing did not reveal a specific mutation. For 22%, the history of genetic testing for a specific mutation was unknown (data not shown).
