Hemophilia is a genetic disease that causes an affected person to severely bleed if cut. Lucky for hemophilia patients, gene therapy is an option. Gene therapy is a form of therapy during which selected healthy genes are transferred to an affected person’s cells. Not only is gene therapy a breakthrough in genetic engineering, but it can effectively cure genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis and SCID and some acquired diseases like cancer. Gene therapy is carried out by packing a section of…

disorder that can cause severe bleeding both internally and externally due to having little to no clotting factor. In rare cases, hemophilia can occur in females or even be obtained. Hemophilia exists in two forms – hemophilia A and hemophilia B. Hemophilia A and B are caused by a defect in the genes F8 and F9, respectively. The F8 gene is responsible for making a specific protein called coagulation factor VIII, and the F9 gene for the making of a related protein, coagulation IX. These…

Genetic Disease Summary: Hemophilia A Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder that slows down or prevents the blood clotting process. There are two main types of hemophilia: hemophilia A and hemophilia B. Hemophilia A, which is known as classic hemophilia, is caused by a mutation in the F8 gene. People with hemophilia often display excessive bleeding, including bleeding in the stool and urine, though it is usually painless. Joints are also heavily affected, causing swelling and decreased…

1 in 4,000 to 1 in 5,000 males are born with hemophilia type A and 1 in 20,000 males are born with hemophilia type B but 75% of the people with this disorder around the world have no access to treatment.

Next is B-Boying or break dancing, which came along shortly after graffiti in the early 70 's in the Bronx (lecture notes). This…

distinction between thymus and periphery derived Treg cell subsets is an increased expression of Programmed death-1 (PD-1), which plays an important role in iTreg formation and function, on iTreg cells while Granzyme-B expression increased on nTreg cells (Francisco et al. 2009). Granzyme-B leads to TGF-β production by cells, which increases the production of pTregs (or…
