About 18,000 people in the US have hemophilia. Usually occurs in males. Hemophilia is also X-liked. Also there are two type of hemophilia A and B. Hemophilia B is less common than hemophilia A. In which one protein needed to from blood clots is missing or reduced. But female only become carrier. Females can become carrier because they have two X chromosome. Males have one X chromosome and one chromosome smaller missing the blood clotting gene so they get hemophilia to counter out the bad gene. **Symptoms: ** The symptoms for hemophilia are bleeding into the muscle or joints, and many larger or deep bruises. It is also painful, lasting headache, double vision, and heavy bleeding from a minor cut. Bleeding often results from falling. Also bleeding into a joint or muscle that cause pain and swelling.

Mild hemophilia 5-30 percent of normal clotting factor. Moderate hemophilia is 1-5 percent of normal clotting factor. Severe hemophilia is less than one percent of normal clotting factor. Also before diagnosed the doctor must perform several blood test rules out other disorder. The final test is a factor activity test. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Treatment: ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">The treatment for this disease is that you can get a blood transfusion. Also prophylactic is a treatment with infused clotting factor. Also need to have more vitamins K. They inject themselves with purified clotting factors to prevent or stop bleeding episodes. You can also replace the missing clotting factor. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Research: ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">The disease is cause by mutations to a single gene. It could be cured if trials of the disorder discover a way to replace. Researcher seeks to replace the defective gene with a normal and fully functional gene. These genes will be carries into the body using a vector. The virus infects cells with the healthy gene overriding the mutated hemophilia gene. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Additional Facts: ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Hemophilia B, it was originally called the “Christmas disease” for the first person diagnosed with the disorder back in 1952. There’s only two major type of hemophilia A and B. Hemophilia A is a classic hemophilia and a common type. The early 1980s, most people with hemophilia were infected with HIV. It depends on the severity of the hemophilia symptoms. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Punnett Square: ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Pedigree Chart: ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; line-height: 14.25pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Resources: ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">National heart, lung, and blood institute <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #810081; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: auto;">[] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">University of Maryland medical center <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #810081; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: auto;">[] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">U.S department of health & human services <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #810081; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 115%; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: auto;">[] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 15px; line-height: 115%; text-align: left; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: auto;">Pub Med Health
