Question:
Hemophilia is an inherited disorder in which the bloodclotting mechanism is defective. Because of this defect, people with hemophilia may die from cuts or bruises, especially if internal organs such as the liver, lungs, or kidneys have been damaged. One method of treatment involves injecting a blood-clotting factor that has been purified from blood donations. This factor is a protein encoded by a human gene. Suggest a way in which modern genetic technology could be used to produce this factor on an industrial scale. Is there a way in which the inborn error of hemophilia could be corrected by human gene therapy?
