Hemophilia primarily affects clotting factors in the blood, specifically factor VIII in hemophilia A and factor IX in hemophilia B. These proteins are essential for normal blood coagulation, and their deficiency leads to prolonged bleeding and difficulty in forming clots. As a result, individuals with hemophilia experience increased bleeding risks from injuries, surgeries, or spontaneous bleeding episodes.
What else can I help you with?
Is Hemophilia mutated allele that produces a defective form of the protein hemoglobin?
False; Hemophilia is caused by a mutated allele that produces a defective form of the protein fibrin.Sickle Cell Disease is caused by a defective form of hemoglobin.
What protein is affected in hemophilia?
fart on dogs
A genetic disorder that results from a defective protein in the clotting pathway?
hemophilia
Royal hemophilia is the result of what inheritance?
Hemophilia is broken into three subcategories; Hemophilia A, Hemophilia B, and Hemophilia C. These subcategories designate a person as having a deficiency of one of three specific clotting proteins. Hemophilia A is the deficiency of the protein called Clotting Factor VIII. Hemophilia B is the deficiency of Clotting Factor IX. Hemophilia C is the deficiency of Clotting Factor XI. "Royal" hemophilia is simply a reference to Hemophilia B and is therefore a result of a deficiency in the Clotting Factor IX protein. It is sometimes called the royal disease because it has been known to have been passed through some royal families throughout history.
How did hemophilia affect European politics and monarchies?
When people would dispute who should claim the throne when the heirs died from hemophilia.
What is the protein that hemophiliacs lack?
In the most common type, Hemophilia A, the person lacks clotting factor VIII. In Hemophilia B, clotting factor IX is lacking.
How do you use the word hemophilia in a sentence?
Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder caused by either insufficient amounts of a clotting factor protein or a clotting factor protein that does not work correctly. The blood in individuals with hemophilia does not clot as fast as an individual with no bleeding disorder. Hemophilia is most often genetic and carried on the X chromosome. For this reason, men (having only one X chromosome rather than two like females) tend to show the symptoms of hemophilia and be diagnosed as hemophiliacs much more frequently.
What is a disorder of the blood in which the blood cannot clot due to the absence of a blood clotting protein?
hemophilia
What part of the respiratory does hemophilia affect?
Typically it does not affect the respiratory system at all. The only time it would if if the person suffers an injury that causes bleeding into the lungs. At that point, I think Hemophilia would be the least of their concerns
What protein is missing or defective in hemophilia?
Hemophilia is a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency or defect in clotting factor VIII (hemophilia A) or factor IX (hemophilia B). These clotting factors are essential for blood clot formation, and their deficiency leads to prolonged bleeding and poor clotting ability.
Can a person have both sickle cell and hemophilia diseases at the same time?
Yes, Sickle cell affects the red blood cells while hemophilia is a condition where an extracellular protein is deficient in the person's blood.
Can a genetic disease affect anybody?
Exceptions are always there e.g hemophilia and many bleeding disorders don't affect females.
