Factor Viii Clotting Factor
1,050 wordsHemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder. People who have hemophilia have a deficiency or an absence of a coagulation protein. A blood clotting factor is deficient or absent. Bleeding is most often into joints, such as the knee, elbow, or ankle, but bleeding can occur anywhere in the body. People with hemophilia bleed longer, not faster. The severity of hemophilia varies greatly. Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B are the most common genetic bleeding disorders. Hemophilia A is observed in 80 percent...

Factor Viii Clotting Factor
878 wordsAccording to the dictionary Hemophilia is a hereditary disorder in which the blood fails to clot normally, causing prolonged bleeding from even minor injuries. This is only the very basis of this disorder. First of all there are two kinds of Hemophilia. Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B.

Hemophilia B is caused by a deficiency of...

Factor Viii Clotting Factor
1,200 words... ecombinant DNA technology and the discovery of the genes that control production of factor VIII have led to the development of recombinant factor concentrates that do not rely on plasma at all. What is the Cause of Hemophilia? Hemophilia occurs when one of the factors needed for blood to clot is missing or the amount present is too low for normal clotting to occur. Factor VIII is missing or too low in about 90 % of hemophilia cases. Factor IX is deficient in about 9 % of cases. Factor XI, X,...

Put In Place Gene Therapy
1,097 wordsGenetic Therapy that focuses on hemophilia Gene therapy is reinserting certain genes that helps deal with genetic diseases. There are three basic forms of this gene therapy. The first is Gene Inactivation Therapy in which the transferred gene neutralizes the proteins and evens out the amount or rids of the defective proteins. Another type is Gene Augmentation Therapy where the original form of the gene or the normal form of the gene is inserted into one of the cell? s chromosomes. This procedure...

The coagulation process involve platelets as well as plasma proteins called clotting factors. Clotting begins when platelets stick to the site of an injury to a blood vessel....
