			What is alpha thalassemia X-linked mental retardation syndrome?
			Alpha thalassemia X-linked mental retardation syndrome is an inherited disorder that affects many parts of the body. This condition occurs almost exclusively in males.
			Males with alpha thalassemia X-linked mental retardation syndrome have intellectual disability and delayed development. Their speech is significantly delayed, and most never speak or sign [...]]]></description>

			X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a condition that affects the immune system and occurs almost exclusively in males. People with XLA have very few B cells, which are specialized white blood cells that help protect the body against infection. B cells can mature into the cells that produce special proteins called antibodies or immunoglobulins. Antibodies attach [...]]]></description>

			X-linked sideroblastic anemia is an inherited disorder that prevents developing red blood cells (erythroblasts) from making enough hemoglobin, which is the protein that carries oxygen in the blood. People with X-linked sideroblastic anemia have mature red blood cells that are smaller than normal (microcytic) and appear pale (hypochromic) because of the shortage of hemoglobin. This [...]]]></description>

			What is hemophilia?
			Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that slows the blood clotting process. People with this condition often experience prolonged bleeding or oozing following an injury, surgery, or having a tooth pulled. In severe cases of hemophilia, heavy bleeding occurs after minor trauma or even in the absence of injury (spontaneous bleeding). Serious complications can [...]]]></description>

			Synonym(s): blood clotting factor, clotting factor, coagulation factors

			Definition(s): Endogenous substances, usually proteins, that are involved in the blood coagulation process. 

			Factors in the blood that are essential for blood coagulation. The absence or mutation of these factors can lead to hemophilia and blood clotting disorders.

			Platelet storage pool deficiencies are rare, platelet abnormalities that cause a mild to moderate bleeding disorder.&#160; Platelet storage pool deficiencies comprise a number of disorders with variable degrees of reductions in the numbers and contents of dense granules (delta granules), alpha granules or both. The dense granules in platelets serve as a &#34;storage pool&#34; for [...]]]></description>

			What is the Immune System?
			The immune system is a network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to defend the body against attacks by &#8220;foreign&#8221; invaders. These are primarily microbes&#8212;tiny organisms such as bacteria, parasites, and fungi that can cause infections. Viruses also cause infections, but are too primitive to be classified as living [...]]]></description>
