~RoBoTiClOvEr~ Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 [spoiler=[b]Wikipedia Explanation[/b]]Hemophilia is a blood condition that means bleeding does not stop. The bleeding occurs because the blood does not clot. A person with a small cut or internal bleed (bruise) could bleed to death. They do not bleed more than a normal person, but they bleed for much longer. The word comes from the Greek words haima "blood" and philia "to love"[1] It usually affects males. It is passed from mother to child through genes. There are 3 types of hemophilia: Hemophilia A - about 90% of cases. There is no blood clotting ability. Hemophilia B - not as severe, but much less common. There is not enough blood clotting ability. Hemophilia C - caused by not one, but two recessive (weak) genes. Hemophilia A happens in about 1 in 5,000–10,000 male births.[2] Hemophilia B happens in about 1 in every 20,000–34,000 male births. This happens because each male needs a X and a Y chromosome; but because the Y chromosome is smaller than the X chromosome, some genes are missing. Most importantly in hemophilia, it is the H gene that is missing. If gene h (from the X chromosone) is recessive (weak) then it would be replaced by the gene H (from the Y chromosone). But when gene H is missing from the Y chromosone then gene h, the weak one from the X chromosone, takes its place and causes hemophilia. There is no cure for this disease but there are different treatments available. A person with hemophilia is called a hemophiliac. This is an uncured bleeding disorder and luckly you can't catch it, you have to be born with it. This is a Genetic Disease then. Even though it is uncured, Blood Clotting Factor can be injected to keep the bleeding from happening. The found one way but it is infancy and some people may have reactions to it. Discuss. Also when will they find a cure for this disorder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cacnea Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Didn't somebody in the UK royal family have it? Queen Victoria was a carrier, so her children had it (at least one), watch doctor who episode 'Tooth and Claw' for more funny info... they'll probably find a cure with all the work in stem cells going on...

~RoBoTiClOvEr~ Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I hope that can happen soon cacnea and Yin, Queen Victoria was a carrier who probably had few children with hemophilia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMGAKITTY Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Yes, we need to work on this semi-rare genetic disease and find a cure immediately! Screw cancer and HIV/AIDS patients, we have hemophilia to cure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~RoBoTiClOvEr~ Posted November 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I hope hemophilia gets cured soon. Shockwave made a Cancer thread but locked. After this thread, I will make a remake of the cancer thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMGAKITTY Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I think you missed the point. -_-I'm saying there are so many more common and pressing incurable diseases out there, that this one instantly becomes low priority in research.

Amethyst Phoenix Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 They're actually near the point at which they can alter your chromosomes, which would make curing all genetic defects rather easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~RoBoTiClOvEr~ Posted November 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yeah, we are at a good point on curing Hemophilia soon, and plannig on getting the cure set up by 2 years or 3 years tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
