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 Ix Clotting Factor
1,179 wordsIntroduction Hemophilia is a rare genetic blood clotting disorder that primarily affects males. People living with hemophilia do not have enough of, or are missing, one of the blood clotting proteins naturally found in blood. Two of the most common forms of hemophilia are A and B. In persons with hemophilia A (also called classic hemophilia), clotting factor VIII is not present in sufficient amounts or is absent. In persons with hemophilia B (also called Christmas disease), clotting factor IX is...

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...

Cystic Fibrosis Genetically Engineered
1,365 wordsGene therapy by gene supplementation in somatic cells may help those suffering from genetic conditions such as cystic fibrosis. Although a mutant gene occurs in all cells of the body only those tissues particularly affected (where the gene is switched on) by the mutant gene would be targeted for therapy, i. e. the lungs of a cystic fibrosis sufferer, blood cells in the bone marrow in &solid; thalassemia and the muscles in Duchemme muscular dystrophy. As cells eventually die, so do the tissues be...

Blood Clotting Fifty Percent
357 wordsHemophilia Biology- 2 nd perioHemophiliaHemophelia Tim Postal Hemophilia Biology- 2 nd perioHemophilia Hemophilia is a genetic blood disease, which is characterized by the inability of blood to clot, or coagulate even from minor injuries. This disease is caused by an insufficiency of certain blood proteins, called factors, that participate in blood clotting and often by sudden gene mutation. Therefore, with the absence of factors, the blood clotting process is prolonged. There are different type...
