  1. Hemophilia By: Stephen Goldsman & Zach Lyons Dr. Derrion/Mr. Griener Period-3

  2. Inheriting Hemophilia • Both parents must be carrying it to have a 100% chance of having • If either father or mother has it but the other partner does not, there children have a 50% of have hemophilia • Even if neither parent has hemophilia you still have a chance of getting it • It is a recessive trait • The genes for the clotting factors are located on the X chromosome, which is a problem with the x-chromosomes

  3. Symptoms of Hemophilia • Some symptoms of Hemophilia are bleeding into a joint, easily being bruised, and swelling in the joint • 1 out of 5,000 babies are born with hemophilia A, while 1 out of 30,000 babies are born with hemophilia B • This disease is most common in white males

  4. Life Span • Average life span is 65 years old • People can still live long and normal lives • Replacment therapy is the main treament • Replacement Therapy is a type of therapy that stops bleeding

  5. Family and Yourself • When a person is diagnosed with hemophilia they are very depressed, scared, and sometimes angry because they were the one that was diagnosed out of everyone in the whole world • When a family member is diagnosed they pretty much have the same feelings as the person diagnosed, except not as much emotion as the one who was diagnosed

  6. What I Learned • I learned that living with hemophilia can be a nightmare for people • People with it have to protect there body so carefully and make sure they don’t get any kind of cut. • Also to just live with someone who has hemophilia must be impossible because not only do you have to make sure nothing happens to them but also if something does to get them to the hospital Hemophilia
