It looks like there might be some new hope for one of the issues that's been an issue with my family: hemophilia.
This is pretty important to my family. My uncle and brother (both deceased due to complications that arose from the disease) had this condition. My youngest nephew is also afflicted.Newborn mice and dogs with hemophilia A were restored to normal health through gene therapy developed by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The technique introduced into the animals' cells a gene that makes clotting factor VIII, a protein missing because of a genetic defect.
