The prevalence of these disorders in different parts of the world is variable. Iran as a country with a high rate of parental consanguinity has a high rate of CBDs.

Diagnosis and classification of disorders were made by routine and specific laboratory tests.Results: Out of 107 patients, 65.4% affected by common bleeding disorders (hemophilia A and B), 23.4% affected by rare bleeding disorders (RBDs) and 11.2% had inherited platelet disorders. Factor VII deficiency (64%) was the most common RBDs and 9 patients had von Willebrand disease. Out of three patients with inherited platelet disorders, two had Glanzmann thrombasthenia.Conclusion: CBD pattern though has similar patterns with total pattern of the country, some of the inherited platelet disorders are more common in Kurdish province.
