The clotting of blood is surprisingly complicated, as it involves many stages and processes to clot a wound. If the gene coding for just one of these stages is missing, then you will have a condition called haemophilia, which leaves sufferers vulnerable to losing too much blood from a wound because it's unable to form a scab. If this is the case, a treatment of the necessary molecule will be infused into your bloodstream.
