Genetic Technologies for Hemophilia

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Explore the science behind genetic technologies for hemophilia in this four-part video series from the WFH. Learn the basics of genes and DNA and discover how AAV gene therapy, lentiviral gene therapy, and gene editing work. Designed for patients, families, and healthcare professionals, the series provides a clear and accessible introduction to these emerging treatment approaches.


This introductory video explains how genes and DNA function and how genetic changes cause hemophilia A and B. It provides an overview of three genetic technologies currently being studied or used in hemophilia care: AAV gene therapy, lentiviral gene therapy, and gene editing. This is the first video in a four-part series on genetic technologies for hemophilia.


This video provides an overview of AAV gene therapy for hemophilia, including how it works, who may be eligible, its potential benefits and limitations, and follow-up considerations. This is the second video in a four-part series on genetic technologies for hemophilia.


This video explains lentiviral gene therapy, an emerging treatment approach being studied for hemophilia A. It describes how lentiviral gene therapy uses a person’s own blood stem cells to introduce a functional clotting factor gene and support long-term clotting factor production. The video also explores potential benefits, safety considerations, and the current status of research and clinical development. This is the third video in a four-part series on genetic technologies for hemophilia.


This video introduces gene editing as a promising investigational treatment for hemophilia A and B. It explains how CRISPR-based technologies can precisely target DNA to insert therapeutic genes, reviews the different delivery approaches currently being studied, and discusses the potential advantages and remaining unanswered questions surrounding this rapidly evolving field. This is the fourth video in a four-part series on genetic technologies for hemophilia.

The WFH does not engage in the practice of medicine and under no circumstances recommends particular treatment for specific individuals. For diagnosis or consultation on a specific medical problem, the WFH recommends that you contact your physician or local treatment centre. Before administering any products, the WFH urges patients to check dosages with a physician or hemophilia centre staff, and to consult the pharmaceutical company’s printed instructions.

The WFH does not promote any particular pharmaceutical product and any mention of any commercial brand in this presentation is strictly for educational purposes.
