61. How To Deal With Hemophilia
If a person has hemophilia, his blood doesn t clot as it should. What does that mean? Find out in this article for kids.

KidsHealth Kids Kids' Health Problems Blood
Hemophilia (say: hee-muh- fih -lee-uh) is a genetic disorder in which a person's blood does not clot properly. "Hemo" means blood and "philia" means a tendency toward. A person who has hemophilia has a tendency to bleed excessively. Think of the last time you had a cut or scrape. When the bleeding stops on its own, you're seeing clotting in action. A Bit About Blood
If your blood is clotting normally, your body naturally protects itself. Platelets , which are "sticky cells," go to where the bleeding occurs and cover the hole, plugging it up. This is the first step in the clotting process. When the platelets plug the hole, they release chemicals that attract more sticky platelets and also activate various clotting factors, which are proteins in the blood. These proteins mix with the platelets to form fibers, which make the clot stronger and stop the bleeding. Our bodies have 12 clotting factors that work together to make fibrinogen (say: fy- brih -nuh-jun), the substance that makes the fibers. Trouble begins if the body is missing one of these factors.

"Information is Power" Providing Information on von Willebrand's Disease Go To Personal Information What Is Von Willebrand's Disease? Von Willebrand's Disease (vWD) is not a disease at all, but the most common genetic disorder in the world (classic hemophilia is more well known due to its connection with the royal families of Europe). In fact, vWD is times more common than classic hemophilia! It was discovered by a Finnish doctor in the 1920s, who named it after himself and called it a disease. Later, Dr. von Willebrand discovered in truth that the illness was linked to a missing blood factor, which assists with the clotting of blood. He named the factor after himself as well - von Willebrand's Factor (vWF). The disorder is not sex linked (autosomal), meaning that both men and women can have it, but some can be carriers only and not manifest any of the symptoms. VWD occurs when the body makes either inferior vWF or none at all. Other blood factors can be short-changed as well. Generally, vWD is divided into three types: Type I (mild), Type II (Medium) and Type III (severe). The lower the type, the less the symptoms will occur and the less strenuous they will be. What Are the Symptoms?

Teens Blood Disorders
If you ride a skateboard or play a sport, you probably know about bruises and banged-up knees and elbows. But for guys with a rare bleeding disorder called hemophilia (pronounced: hee-muh- fih -lee-uh), minor cuts and bruises can be a big deal. What Is Hemophilia?
Hemophilia is a disease that prevents a person's blood from clotting properly, which means that the person bleeds more than a person without hemophilia does. It's a genetic disorder, which means it's the result of a change in genes that's either inherited (passed on from parent to child) or that happens during development in the womb. "Hemo" means blood and "philia" means a tendency toward. A person who has hemophilia has a tendency to bleed excessively. Hemophilia affects mostly boys, although it's very rare: Only about one in every 8,000 boys is born with hemophilia. The disease can affect people of any race or nationality. For most people, when they get a cut, the body naturally protects itself. Sticky cells in the blood called platelets go to where the bleeding is and plug up the hole. This is the first step in the clotting process. When the platelets plug the hole, they release chemicals that attract more sticky platelets and also activate various proteins in the blood known as

HEMOPHILIA
Common forms of hereditary bleeding disorders caused by clotting factor deficiencies of factor VIII, IX, or XI. Hemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency), which affects about 80% of hemophiliacs, and hemophilia B (factor IX deficiency) have identical clinical manifestations, screening test abnormalities, and X-linked genetic transmission. Specific factor assays are required to distinguish the two.
Genetics
Hemophilia may result from gene mutations: point mutations involving a single nucleotide, deletions of all or parts of the gene, and mutations affecting gene regulation. About 50% of cases of severe hemophilia A result from a major inversion of a section of the tip of the long arm of the X chromosome. Because factor VIII and factor IX genes are located on the X chromosome, hemophilia affects males almost exclusively. Daughters of hemophiliacs will be obligatory carriers, but sons will be normal. Each son of a carrier has a 50% chance of being a hemophiliac, and each daughter has a 50% chance of being a carrier. (See also Ch. 286.

The disorder results from deficiencies in blood clotting factors and can lead to spontaneous internal bleeding and bleeding following injuries or surgery. These bleeding episodes can cause severe joint damage, neurological damage, damage to other organ systems involved in the hemorrhage, and, in rare cases, death. Treating the bleeding episodes involves the prompt and proper use of clotting factor concentrates. von Willebrand disease The most common bleeding disorder is von Willebrand disease (vWD), which is found in approximately 1-2% of the U.S. population. VWD results from a deficiency or defect in the body's ability to make von Willebrand factor, a protein that helps blood clot. Although VWD occurs in men and women equally, women are more likely to notice the symptoms because of heavy or abnormal bleeding during their menstrual periods and after childbirth.

What Is Hemophilia?
Hemophilia (heem-a-FILL-ee-ah) is a rare inherited bleeding disorder. The blood does not clot normally. Persons with hemophilia may bleed for a longer time following an injury or accident than others. They also may bleed internally, especially in the joints (knees, ankles, and elbows). Babies born with hemophilia are missing or have a low level of a protein needed for normal blood clotting or blood coagulation. The protein is called a clotting factor. About 18,000 persons in the U.S. have hemophilia. About 400 babies are born each year with the disorder. Hemophilia usually occurs only in males (with very rare exceptions). A person with hemophilia has a problem with certain proteins in the blood, called clotting factors, which help blood clot. Hemophilia can be due to:
  • A low level of one of the clotting factors
    A clotting factor that is completely missing.
When clotting factors are missing, or your body does not have enough of these factors, it can take a long time for your blood to clot after an injury or accident.

http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/VL/GG/x-linked.html

X-linked Inheritance: Hemophilia
Legend:
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 son, whose mother has two normal alleles, will not be affected by hemophilia even if the father has the disease and the defective gene. A daughter of the same parents will be a heterozygous carrier.
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.

hemophilia
Haemophilia or hemophilia is the name of any of several hereditary genetic illnesses that impair the body's ability to control bleeding. Genetic deficiencies (or, very rarely, an autoimmune disorder) cause lowered plasma clotting factor activity so as to compromise blood-clotting; when a blood vessel is injured, a scab will not form and the vessel can continue to bleed excessively for a very long period of time. The bleeding can be external, if the skin is broken by a scrape, cut or abrasion, or it can be internal, into muscles, joints or hollow organs. Causes Haemophilia is generally caused by a mutation affecting the genes encoding one of the clotting factors. The genes for the most common form, Haemophilia A , are located on the X chromosome, so haemophilia is usually a sex-linked trait. Women have two X-chromosomes, whereas men have one X and one Y chromosome. Since the mutations causing the disease are recessive, a woman carrying the defect on one of her X-chromosomes will not be affected by it, as the equivalent allele on her other chromosome would express itself to produce the necessary clotting factors. However the Y-chromosome in men has no gene for factors VIII or IX. If the gene responsible for blood clotting on a man's X-chromosome is deficient there is no equivalent on the Y-chromosome, so the deficient gene is not masked by the dominant allele and he will develop the illness. Since a man receives his single X-chromosome from his mother, the son of a healthy woman silently carrying the deficient gene will have a 50% chance of inheriting that gene from her and with it the disease. In contrast, for a woman to inherit the disease, she must receive two deficient X-chromosomes, one from her mother and the other from her father (who must therefore be a haemophiliac himself). Hence haemophilia is far more common among men than women. However, haemophiliac daughters are more common than they once were, as improved treatment for haemophilia means that more men survive to adulthood and become parents. Adult women with haemophilia menstruate periodically, so they must take clotting factor to survive.
