Thank you for sharing. My first undergrad studies were a double major in Science (Chemistry/Biology) 12 years ago and yet I had zero clue that we were at the stage currently to do what you described. To hear what you've just described is absolute music to my ears and it makes me very happy. While you may have lived a number of years dealing with your issues it means that we are likely approaching a time when children will be able to be cured early and live pain-free lives.
- iamleppert 8y agoYou’re welcome and yes I agree about this being most impactful for children. Hemophilia had a big effect on my life, both physically and psychologically, as well as my family. It’s hard to grow up knowing you’re so different from others. Now, someone born with hemophilia may never even have to know. It changes things dramatically. In a single generation we’ve gone from being able to treat the condition at all (replacement factor was just becoming available when I was born) to being able to completely cure it.
