Extractions: FAMOHIO, Inc. was grown out of the frustration of these adult men and their colleagues who had been infected by HIV in part because of the failure of government, product manufacturers, hemophilia organizations and others to adequately manage the quality of factor and communicate in a timely manner the risks of treatment. These men believed that an annual meeting of hemophiliacs and their families would provide an opportunity to share information, educate themselves, and work together for their common good. It was hoped that such a symposium would minimize the likelihood of a recurrence of such a calamity.

There are two forms of hemophilia. Hemophilia A, which accounts for about 80% of all cases, is a deficiency in clotting factor VIII. Hemophilia B is a deficiency in clotting factor IX. The bleeding patterns and consequences of these two types of hemophilia are similar. Deficiency of clotting factor XI also causes a hereditary bleeding disorder. About 50% of cases of factor XI deficiency occur among people of Eastern European Jewish ancestry. Factor XI deficiency affects both males and females and may cause bleeding after injury or surgery. Spontaneous bleeding episodes are usually less frequent and milder than in hemophilia A or B. Hemophilia is caused by several different gene abnormalities. They are sex-linked, which means that the gene abnormalities are inherited through the mother and that nearly everyone with hemophilia is male.

Baxter U.S. - Hemophilia Therapy hemophilia is a rare disorder in which a persons blood does not clot properly because they do not produce enough of, or are missing, blood clotting http://www.baxter.com/therapies/sub/hemophilia_therapy.html
Extractions: Conditions Therapies Products Services ... Baxter Worldwide > United States Training and Education Sustainability Contact Us ... Renal Therapies Home Therapies Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which a personâs blood does not clot properly because they do not produce enough of, or are missing, blood clotting proteins called factors. The body depends on these clotting factors to stop bleeding after injury and to promote healing. Overview The hemophilia community considers infusion (into a vein) therapy a viable option. For patients with hemophilia A, this is known as factor VIII replacement therapy. This therapy works as a substitute for the missing or nonfunctioning clotting factor VIII protein. When clotting factor is administered after an injury the body begins to use it immediately to form a clot. Replacement therapy works for about 24 hours. If bleeding continues, additional factor may need to be infused. This therapy is not a cure for hemophilia A - it is a temporary replacement therapy used to treat symptoms of hemophilia. A well-recognized treatment for hemophilia is an ultra-pure factor VIII concentrate that is made using recombinant gene technology. The most significant advances in hemophilia treatment have been made in the last four decades. Baxter introduced the first commercially available plasma-derived factor concentrate in the mid 1960s. This was a major advancement over earlier treatments, which contained much lower concentrations of antihemophilic factor. In the early 1970s home treatment of hemophilia became widely available offering people with hemophilia greater independence and reduced hospital stays. Today recombinant DNA technology and the discovery of genes that control production of factor VIII have led to the development of recombinant factor concentrates that do not rely on plasma at all. In 2003, Baxter introduced the first Factor VIII therapy made without any added human or animal plasma proteins and albumin in the cell culture process, purification and final formulation.

Inheritance Of Hemophilia A son, whose mother has two normal alleles, will not be affected by hemophilia even if the father has the disease and the defective gene. http://www.accessexcellence.org/AB/GG/x-linked.html
Extractions: Hemophilia is a sex linked trait in humans, inherited in the same way white eye color in Drosophila. Males are hemizygous, receiving their only X chromosome from their mother. Females are heterozygous, inheriting X chromosomes from both parents. If a female has a defective gene on one of her two X chromosomes, she will be protected from its effects by the normal gene on her second X chromosome. If a male has a mutant X and a normal Y chromosome, he will be affected by a X-linked disease. A heterozygous carrier mother and a normal father pass the gene for hemophilia on to possibly one- half of their children. Half the daughters will be carriers and half the sons will be hemophilic. The rest of the siblings will be normal. Daughters, as long as one parent is genotypically normal, can only be carriers. The normal gene on the second X chromosome counteracts the defect and the daughters do not suffer from the trait. If a son receives the defective gene from his mother, he will be hemophilic because the Y chromosome can not counteract the defective gene located on his X chromosome.

Extractions: Prognosis for Hemophiliacs Main X-linked page What is it? Symptoms Incidence ... The European Royal Family Although transfusions and plasma treatments are available, there are still complications that come with having hemophilia. Chronic joint deformities can result from continued bleeding into the joints, but generally an orthopedic specialist can manage this. Some people may also develop antibodies to transfused factor VIII in plasma. This makes the transfusions ineffective and requires them to be administered much more often and in much higher doses. Hemophilia patients are also much more susceptible to blood-borne illnesses due to the fact that they receive blood products very frequently. Since the 1980s, however, the incidence of blood-borne illnesses in blood products has dramatically dropped and is almost unheard of now. And finally, death can be a major complication of the disease, be it from blood loss or from bleeding internally within the brain or other body organs. The picture above is Ryan White.

Extractions: Sign up for the MamasHealth Newsletter What is Hemophilia? Hemophilia is group of hereditary bleeding disorders of specific blood clotting factors. There are two main types of hemophilia: A and B. What causes Hemophilia? Hemophilia is caused by an inherited sex-linked recessive trait. The defective gene is located on the X chromosome. The severity of symptoms can vary with this disease, and the severe forms become apparent early on. Bleeding is the hallmark of the hemophilia and typically occurs if an infant is circumcised. Additional bleeding manifestations make their appearance when the infant becomes mobile. Mild cases of hemophilia may go unnoticed until later in life when try occur in response to surgery or trauma. Internal bleeding may happen anywhere, and bleeding into joints is common. Risk factors are a family history of bleeding and being male. What are the Symptoms of Hemophilia?
