Pain in Hemophilia: Unexplored Role of Oxidative Stress

TL;DR: Cross examine preclinical and clinical studies that address the contribution of oxidative stress in hemophilia and related diseases that affect synovial tissue to induce acute and potentially chronic pain to help provide potential treatable targets using antioxidants to ameliorate pain in Hemophilia.

Evidence for gene transfer and expression of factor IX in haemophilia B patients treated with an AAV vector

TL;DR: Evidence of gene expression at low doses of vector suggests that dose calculations based on animal data may have overestimated the amount of vector required to achieve therapeutic levels in humans, and that the approach offers the possibility of converting severe haemophilia B to a milder form of the disease.
