sickle cell anaemia is x linked disease :: Article Creator Groundbreaking Gene Therapy Cures 21-year-old Of His Sickle Cell Anemia: 'I'm Not In Pain Anymore' Sebastien Beauzile – By Northwell Health/Cohen Medical Center A New York hospital has declared a patient cured of sickle-cell anemia, a debilitating genetic disorder that mostly affects individuals of African heritage. Considered to be cured, other genetic treatments have proven successful in reducing or ending the bouts of pain and occasional surgeries that plague the lives of those who suffer from the disease. Cohen Children's Medical Center said their patient Sebastien Beauzile, 21, is the first New Yorker to have received the breakthrough Lyfgenia treatment, according to the New York Post.

factor 9 blood disorder :: Article Creator Everything You Need To Know About Hemophilia Hemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by low levels of proteins called "clotting factors." Hemophilia is an inherited blood disorder in which your blood does not clot properly. This can cause you to bleed more easily and sometimes lead to excessive bleeding, even from minor cuts or injuries. There are several types of hemophilia, which are characterized by low levels of certain clotting factors. Healthcare professionals base the overall severity of the condition on the amount of factors present in the blood. The exact number of people living with hemophilia is not known, but it affects more people assigned male at birth than those assigned female. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 33,000 males in the United States have hemophilia. Keep reading to learn more about th...

male with klinefelter syndrome :: Article Creator The Intersex Spectrum   The Intersex Spectrumby Carl Gold Physical gender is not always just a matter of XX or XY, girl or boy. In approximately one out of every 100 births, seemingly tiny errors occur during the various stages of fetal sex differentiation, causing a baby's body to develop abnormally. Problems in the formation of chromosomes, gonads, or external genitals can lead to a range of intersex conditions. The most common and well-researched of these conditions are explained below. For information on intersex conditions not mentioned here, see http://www.Hopkinsmedicine.Org/pediatricendocrinology/. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)—One in 13,000 birthsTwo hormones are critical in normal sex differentiation. The testes of normal 46,XY males secrete both Müllerian Inhibiting Substance (also known as MIS or antimüllerian hormone) and masculinizing androgenic hormones, while the ovaries o...
