In our cohort of BDUC patients, no clinical relevant FXIII deficiencies were detected; absolute values were well above the 30% cutoff considered adequate for normal haemostasis. No α2AP deficiencies were detected. These data suggest that in BDUC patients, measuring FXIII or AP activity is of limited value.
