International Cooperation Member of the Steering committee of International Registry on Congenital FVII Deficiency (IFR7) Cooperation with the international „Hemophilia B:Database of point mutations and short additions and deletions” Green PM ,Gianelli F, Sommer S et al. (2000), providing data of the Greifswald registry. Cooperation for mutations detection and genomic diagnosis of Hemophilia B, FVII and FX deficiency with colleagues in Argentine, Costa Rica,Cuba, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, India ,Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, ,Slovakia , Singapore, Sweden, , Venezuela, etc.

Multi centres international cooperation in rare bleeding disorders Since 1989 “ Greifswald FIX mutation registry” as a multi centre study for hemophilia B genomic diagnosis in cooperation with more then 60 hemophilia centres ( more than 300 cases) 1995 we established the „ Greifswald registry of FVII deficiency”( GRF7) as a multicentre study for FVII deficiency (more than 500 cases). Cooperation with 45 haemostaseological centres / haemophilia centres 1998 we created the “Greifswald Registry of FX deficiency “( GFX). So far more than 102 cases have been enrolled from 34 international centres.
