Brief Summary

Hemophilia A and B are hereditary sex-linked deficiencies of coagulation factors VIII and IX characterized by bleeding. Their modern therapy increases life expectancy and risk of age-related diseases, e.g., osteoporosis.

Hemophilia-specific risk factors impair formation of peak bone mass and accelerate bone loss. Fractures are more frequent in hemophilic men vs. age-matched men and induce bleeding which is aggravated by manipulations and surgical intervention.

The hypothesis of this study is that hemophilic men have poor bone microarchitecture (assessed by High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT)) related to an imbalance between bone formation and resorption (assessed by bone turnover markers (BTM) and bone biomarkers).

The study aims to assess the difference in low trabecular number (Tb.N) at the distal radius between hemophilic men (cases) and age- height-weight-ethnicity and smoking-matched healthy men (controls). Correlation between BTM and Tb.N will be also studied.

Biologic markers of bone remodeling (C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (PINP), N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen (CTX-I), periostin) will be studied.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
number of trabecular at distal tibia3 months following the inclusion

The number of trabecular at distal tibia will be performed and compared to the values available for the healthy control group

number of trabecular at distal radius3 months following the inclusion

The number of trabecular at distal radius will be performed and compared to the values available for the healthy control group

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
reflection of bone strength3 months following the inclusion

Micro-Finite Element Analysis (µFEA) reflection of bone strength will be performed and compared to the values available for the healthy control group

Sera bone remodeling biomarkers3 months following the inclusion

This biomarkers will be performed:

* PINP (ng/ml)

* CTX-1 (ng/ml)

* Periostin (ng/ml)

Trabecular Bone Score (TBS)3 months following the inclusion

Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) will be performed and compared to the values available for the healthy control group The trabecular bone score is a measure of bone texture correlated with bone microarchitecture and a marker for the risk of osteoporosis
