About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Hemophilia”.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about hemophilia, a rare genetic disorder that affects the bloods ability to clot properly. People with hemophilia have a deficiency in one of the clotting factors, which are proteins that work together to stop bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. The severity of hemophilia varies depending on the amount of clotting factor that is missing.

There are two main types of hemophilia: hemophilia A, which is caused by a deficiency in clotting factor VIII, and hemophilia B, which is caused by a deficiency in clotting factor IX. Hemophilia A is more common than hemophilia B.

Hemophilia By: Olivia Holman, Oscar Sierras Jaimes and Daniel Barnett

Name of disorder The name of our disorder is hemophilia. An alternate name for it is haemophilia. The pronunciation is he·mo·phil·ia. The name means love of blood and was chosen by Arabian physician Albucasis based off of the fact that it is a blood disorder. He also discovered the disease when it spread to royal families in Europe. oscar

Type of genetic disorder Hemophilia is known as factor IX deficiency or Christmas disease. Mutation in the f9 gene cause hemophilia. Mutations in the f9 lead to the production of abnormal version of coagulation factor VIII, or reduce he amount of these proteins. The disease is inherited by an x linked recessive pattern. In males one altered copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the condition. daniel

Chromosome / genetics Normal father Carrier mother Normal son Infected daughter Hemophilia is located on the x chromosome. For females the disorder must be present in both chromosomes to cause the hemophilia. olivia

Diagnosis of Individual with Disorder Hemophilia is determined from a defect in the genetic material of the body. The most common forms of hemophilia result from defects in the genes that control the production of clotting factors VIII or IX. Most people with hemophilia are diagnosed at an early age. Specific tests are screening tests and clotting factor tests. Screening tests are blood tests that show if the blood is clotting properly. Clotting factor tests also called factors assays, are required to diagnose a bleeding disorder. This blood test shows the type of hemophilia and the severity. daniel
Slide 8-

Prognosis of individual with disorder The life expectancy for a person with hemophilia is a the same as anyone else’s, as long as they have proper treatment. The limitations of this disorder include not being able to do dangerous things such as contact sports. They cant do these things because they bleed and bruise easily. The impact on the individual is that parents may worry about a child’s family and that the person would have a lot of blood loss from minor cuts and scratches. olivia
Slide 9-

Treatments/ Medications Available The current and the main treatment for hemophilia is called replacement therapy. Replacement Therapy is treated by injecting the missing factor protein into the affected persons rein. Gene Therapy can be a possibility for treating hemophilia it’s been around for 25 years. It shows gene therapy is feasible. This means possible to do easily. Some treatments used in the past are plasma but it didn’t contain enough of needed factor. oscar

Current Research Currently the National Hemophilia Foundation (NHF) is working towards finding a cure or treatment for this disorder. They are also researching this to help prevent complications. olivia

Story of Gerald Gerald’s story was written when he was 9. now he is 13years old. Gerald gets big bruises and sometimes cant walk right. When Gerald bleeds, he cant stop bleeding because his blood doesn’t clot. His bleeds are mostly caused because by bumps and bruises. Although he has hemophilia, he is just about as normal as any other kid! olivia
