TLDR
In the past, men with haemophilia were likely to die in their youth, but with advances in diagnosis, and especially with development of safe and effective treatment, affected individuals can now look forward to a normal life expectancy.

Successful percutaneous coronary intervention in a patient with severe haemophilia A using bivalirudin as the sole procedural anticoagulant

M. A. Krolick
- 01 Jul 2005 - 
TL;DR: The case of a patient with severe haemophilia A who underwent successful multivessel percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) suggests that bivalirudin as the sole procedural anticoagulant can be safely used in patients with a very high risk of bleeding undergoing PCI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Major differences in bleeding symptoms between factor VII deficiency and hemophilia B.

TL;DR: The data support the notion that low FVII levels sustain hemostasis better than similarly reduced FIX levels, which contributes towards shaping clinical differences between diseases in the lowest factor level range.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic medicine at the RNA level: modifications of the genetic repertoire for therapeutic purposes by pre-mRNA trans-splicing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the use of trans-splicing to modify the genetic repertoire at the pre-mRNA level to treat genetic and acquired disorders, which can be used to alter coding domains, create novel fusion proteins, and direct gene products to various cellular compartments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intravascular recovery of VWF and FVIII following intraperitoneal injection and differences from intravenous and subcutaneous injection in mice

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that both von Willebrand factor and factor VIII can be efficiently absorbed into the blood circulation following i.p. injection, indicating that s.c. administration could be an alternative route for VWF or FVIII infusion.

A Serious Adverse Event after Successful Gene Therapy for X-Linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency

TL;DR: The sustained correction of X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency disease by ex vivo, retrovirally mediated transfer of the γc gene into CD34+ cells in four of five patients with the disease has been reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of the human factor VIII gene

TL;DR: The complete 186,000 base-pair (bp) human factor VIII gene has been isolated and consists of 26 exons ranging in size from 69 to 3,106 bp and introns as large as 32.4 kilobases as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Twenty-five years' experience of prophylactic treatment in severe haemophilia A and B

TL;DR: It appears to be possible to prevent haemophilic arthropathy by giving effective continuous prophylaxis from an early age, and preventing the VIII:C or IX:C concentration from falling below 1% of normal.
