Haemophilia B

Hemophilia is a hereditary and genetic mutation blood disease that does not have the ability to form a blood clot or coagulate from a small injury. The word hemophilia comes from two Greek words: haima - meaning blood and philia meaning to love. In order for the blood to clot properly, the plasma proteins also called factors need to be present in the blood. When the body forms antibodies to the clotting factors in the blood, it will stop the clotting factors from working. There are 13 types of

He cut his small toe when he was one year old. There was unusual bleeding. He was given a blood transfusion at a local hospital. He started bleeding frequently from different sites such as, his gums, nose and ears. At the age of four, he bled from his forehead and hip after a fall. He was tested at Christian Medical College Hospital, Vellore and he was diagnosed as having Type ‘A’ Hemophilia with severity at less than 1 %. He had a major bleed in his urinary tract for which he was treated at St John’s

Rare, however it is the most common x linked trait. When an injury occurs, blood cells called platelets plug the wound. Then fibrins seal it up. Hemophilia splits into two groups hemophilia A and hemophilia B. People who have hemophilia A have low levels of blood clotting factor 8. Hemophilia B patients have low levels of blood clotting factor

2014). Hemophilia is a disorder in the body's mechanism of clotting. In simpler terms, people afflicted with hemophilia have a risk of bleeding out from minor injuries. Types of Hemophilia There are three types of hemophilia (hemophilia A, hemophilia B, hemophilia C). Hemophilia A is more common and it is caused by a deficiency of factor VIII (Carson-DeWitt, 2014). This deficiency can vary in severity. This is why each case of Hemophilia varies in each case. Most people have severe Hemophilia which

Hemophilia B is a variation of the disease in which the genetic disorder is caused by a missing or defective factor IX, another clotting protein (Hemophilia B). Although it is passed down from parents to children, about 1/3 of the cases are caused by a spontaneous mutation (Hemophilia B). Hemophilia C is another variation of the disease in which the mutation causes a deficiency in factor XI (What Is Factor XI Deficiency?). Hemophilia C differs from Hemophilia A or B in that there is no bleeding

The cause of hemophilia is known to be mutations with the gene that is in charge of clotting blood and within the chromosome that determines our gender. Disease cause: For the two types of hemophilia(A and B), A is caused by mutations in the F8 gene and mutations in the F9 gene causes hemophilia B. These genes create proteins that are vital in blood clotting, also called coagulation factors. The mutations make them unable to work the ways they need to, which leads to

Hemophilia A Hemophilia A, an X-linked genetic disease, is the most common coagulation disorder with an incidence of about 1-2 in 10,000 males and is caused by mutations in the factor VIII (FVIII) coagulation gene [PubMed1]. It causes infected individuals to not be able to coagulate their blood efficiently or at all when getting a cut or some injury in which blood is exposed. This disease can be very deadly because of major blood loss. Hemophilia A is an X-linked recessive disorder. This means that

Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder where the blood doesn’t clot normally. Some symptoms of hemophilia are unexplained bleeding from cuts or injuries, large deep bruises, unusual bleeding after vaccination, pain, swelling in your joints, nosebleeds without a known cause, and blood in your urine. These symptoms vary depending on the level of clotting factors. Hemophilia are inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. The genes that are associated with these conditions are located on the X chromosome

Sarah Griffin BIO 271-IN1 Disease/Disorder Paper 4/16/15 Hemophilia A Hemophilia is a rare blood condition in which an individual’s blood cannot clot appropriately to stop bleeding. There are two types of Hemophilia, Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B. This paper will be focusing on Hemophilia A, also known as classic hemophilia. “Hemophilia A is a genetic disorder caused by a missing or defective factor VIII, a clotting protein” (National Hemophilia Foundation, n.d., para. 1). Clotting proteins work

Hemophilia Hey do you know what hemophilia is? Well it's a bleeding disorder, when you bleed too much when having an injury making you have too much blood loss. There are treatments that can help you if you have Hemophilia ,but sadly we have no cure for it yet. When you have Hemophilia you have to stay away from things that can hurt you like when you are reading a book you have to be careful because you don't want a paper cut.The treatments that can help you when you
