Hemophilia occurs when the genes that are vital to producing clotting factors are faulty. There are existing treatments for hemophilia that require lifelong administration, while gene therapy may offer a one-time treatment to address the cause of the disease.
The American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) released its latest resource profiling disease-specific treatment efforts, this time focusing on developing gene therapies for hemophilia.
