==Overview==
==Overview==
Hemophilia is a [[Genetic disorder|genetic bleeding disorder]] resulting from the insufficient levels of [[Coagulation|clotting factors]] in the [[Human body|body]]. The [[Coagulation|clotting factors]] irregularity causes a lack of [[Coagulation|clumping of blood]] required to form a [[Thrombus|clot]] to plug a site of a [[wound]]. The [[genes]] involved in the [[pathogenesis]] of hemophilia include the'' F8 ''[[gene]] in [[hemophilia A]] and'' F9'' [[gene]] in [[hemophilia B]] and [[Hemophilia C|C]]. Hemophilia predominantly affects the male population but the sub-type [[hemophilia C]], with an [[Autosome|autosomal]] [[Heredity|inheritance]] pattern, can affect the males as well as females.

*Peculiar [[pathology]] of the types of hemophilia is discussed below:


==Genes affected in Hemophilia==
====Hemophilia A====
*Changes in the ''F8'' [[gene]] are responsible for hemophilia A, while mutations in the ''F9'' gene cause hemophilia B. The ''F8'' gene provides instructions for making a protein called coagulation [[factor VIII]]. A related protein, coagulation [[factor IX]], is produced from the ''F9'' gene. Coagulation factors are proteins that work together in the blood clotting process. After an injury, blood clots protect the body by sealing off damaged blood vessels and preventing excessive blood loss.
*Hemophilia A is caused by an absence or deficiency of [[Factor VIII|factor VIII (FVIII) protein]] activity.<ref name="OldenburgEl-Maarri2006">{{cite journal|last1=Oldenburg|first1=Johannes|last2=El-Maarri|first2=Osman|title=New Insight into the Molecular Basis of Hemophilia A|journal=International Journal of Hematology|volume=83|issue=2|year=2006|pages=96–102|issn=0925-5710|doi=10.1532/IJH97.06012}}</ref>
*It is a lifetime [[disease]] that is [[Transmittance|transmitted]] from usually asymptomatic carrier females to their male offspring.<ref name="OldenburgEl-Maarri2006">{{cite journal|last1=Oldenburg|first1=Johannes|last2=El-Maarri|first2=Osman|title=New Insight into the Molecular Basis of Hemophilia A|journal=International Journal of Hematology|volume=83|issue=2|year=2006|pages=96–102|issn=0925-5710|doi=10.1532/IJH97.06012}}</ref>
*Hemophilia A is characterized by recurrent [[bleeding]], in particular into [[Joint|joints]].<ref name="Bolton-MaggsPasi2003">{{cite journal|last1=Bolton-Maggs|first1=Paula HB|last2=Pasi|first2=K John|title=Haemophilias A and B|journal=The Lancet|volume=361|issue=9371|year=2003|pages=1801–1809|issn=01406736|doi=10.1016/S0140-6736(03)13405-8}}</ref>
*The recurrent [[bleeding]] in [[Joint|joints]] leads almost inevitably to severe [[arthropathy]].<ref name="pmid16684006">{{cite journal |vauthors=Roosendaal G, Lafeber FP |title=Pathogenesis of haemophilic arthropathy |journal=Haemophilia |volume=12 Suppl 3 |issue= |pages=117–21 |date=July 2006 |pmid=16684006 |doi=10.1111/j.1365-2516.2006.01268.x |url=}}</ref>

*Mutations in the ''F8'' or ''F9'' gene lead to the production of an abnormal version of coagulation factor VIII or coagulation factor IX, or reduce the amount of one of these proteins. The altered or missing protein cannot participate effectively in the blood clotting process. As a result, blood clots cannot form properly in response to injury. These problems with blood clotting lead to continuous bleeding that can be difficult to control. The mutations that cause severe hemophilia almost completely eliminate the activity of coagulation factor VIII or coagulation factor IX. The mutations responsible for mild and moderate hemophilia reduce but do not eliminate the activity of one of these proteins.

*Another form of the disorder, known as [[acquired]] hemophilia, is not caused by inherited gene mutation. This rare condition is characterized by abnormal bleeding into the skin, muscles, or other soft tissues, usually beginning in adulthood. Acquired hemophilia results when the body makes specialized proteins called auto antibodies that attack and disable coagulation factor VIII. The production of auto antibodies is sometimes associated with pregnancy, immune system disorders, cancer, or allergic reactions to certain drugs. In about half of cases, the cause of acquired hemophilia is unknown.<ref>{{Cite web | title = NIH Hemophilia Pathophysiology| url =http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/hemophilia }}</ref>

Overview

Hemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder resulting from the insufficient levels of clotting factors in the body. The clotting factors irregularity causes a lack of clumping of blood required to form a clot to plug a site of a wound. The genes involved in the pathogenesis of hemophilia include the F8 gene in hemophilia A, F9 gene in hemophilia B, and F11 gene in C. Hemophilia predominantly affects the male population but the sub-type hemophilia C, with an autosomal inheritance pattern, can affect the males as well as females.

Pathophysiology

Physiology

The normal physiology of hemostasis can be summarized as follows:

1. Primary hemostasis

2. Secondary hemostasis

3. Fibrinolysis

Cell-Based Model of Coagulation

a. Initiation

b. Amplification

c. Propagation

Pathogenesis

  • Mild (factor level > 0.05–0.40 IU/mL)
  • Moderate (factor level = 0.01–0.05 IU/mL)
  • Severe (factor level < 0.01 IU/mL)

Hemophilia A

  1. Classic mutations in the F8 gene that cause structural changes in the FVIII molecule or even produce a truncated protein lacking essential functional domains.[18][19]
  2. Mutations in proteins that interact intracellularly in the correct folding and trafficking of the FVIII protein or mutations in extracellular plasma proteins such as von Willebrand factor (VWF).[20][21][22][23]
  3. The third category encompasses patients who have the clinical disease but have no mutations in the F8 gene or in any of the known interacting partners.[16]
