What are some current trends in hemophilia incidence?
Hemophilia is a congenital disorder. It's a defective gene for factor VIII, which is hemophilia A or defective gene for factor VIIII, which is hemophilia B. The incidence of hemophilia A and B has been quite static for decades, and it's probably because we've improved the health of carriers as well as the population itself. So, we really don't see any significant changes going forward from what we've been used to seeing over the last few years. There's 30,000-33,000 patients with hemophilia in the US, about 85% of those have hemophilia A, so a factor VIII deficiency; the others are hemophilia B. Just to give you some perspective, it's about 1 in 5000 male births affected by hemophilia. And of those, almost 50% of them are going to have the severe form of the condition.
