What is Hemophilia?
Hemophilia the royal disease is a rare hereditary condition where the blood lacks essential clotting factors, resulting in extended bleeding episodes even after minor injuries. This disorder became widely recognized in European royal history, particularly due to its presence in Queen Victoria’s descendants, giving rise to its famous nickname. Today, diagnostic progress has helped improve outcomes for patients globally.
Why is Hemophilia a Genetic Disorder?
Hemophilia is considered a genetic disorder because it follows an X-linked inheritance pattern. The faulty gene responsible is located on the X chromosome. Since males have one X chromosome, they are more susceptible, while females, with two X chromosomes, usually act as carriers. The most common types include hemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency) and hemophilia B (factor IX deficiency).
Types of Hemophilia
There are various classifications, but the two major types are types are hemophilia A and hemophilia B. Hemophilia A, the more prevalent type, is often the form linked to historical royal cases. Less common types, like hemophilia C, involve different clotting factor deficiencies and continue to be explored through active clinical research and development.
Why Are Mostly Males Affected?
Because of its inheritance through the X chromosome, males, having only one X, are more likely to be directly affected. Females can carry the gene and, in rare cases, exhibit symptoms. Due to this male bias, hemophilia has long been thought of as a male-only disease. However, enhanced diagnostic methods now reveal cases among women too, although they remain uncommon.
Future Therapies and Innovations
Treatment for this condition is evolving rapidly. Advances in gene editing and recombinant clotting factors promise extended protection for patients. A key player in this space is the biotechnology company AstraZeneca, which is exploring targeted therapies for both men and women. The rare disease market continues to expand, aiming toward more personalized care and even potential cures for hemophilia.
