For this reason, recombinant therapies, that is, those produced in the laboratory, must always be an option.

About one in 6000 Australian males is born with haemophilia in severe, moderate or mild form. People with haemophilia rely on intravenous infusion of recombinant Factor VIII clotting protein.
