5 Thursday, September 6, 1979 Page 12 Hemophilia, the crippling blood clotting disorder which affects one in every 2,500 males born in Utah each year, can now be traced to its source the pioneer women who settled the state in the mid- to late-1800s. Dr. Robert M. Fineman, director of the Division of Medical Genetics in the University of Utah Medical Center's Department of Pediatrics, is tracking down carriers of the genetic disease with the cooperation of families attending the Medical Center's Mountain States Regional Hemophilia Center, run by Dr. Edward J. Hershgold, associate professor of family and community medicine and pathology. "Several factors are necessary to trace the origin of genetic diseases such as hemophilia and muscular dystrophy," says Dr. Fineman. "We need large, well-defined pedigrees, a minimum of family nigration and illegitimacy, and a good, relatively inexpensive inex-pensive carrier detection iest. Thanks to two much improved blood tests developed recently and the meticulous genealogical record keeping of Utah lamilies, we will have probablay the most complete com-plete carrier detection program ever."

The tests require only a small amount of blood. One test measures the amount of factor eight in the blood; the other test pinpoints pin-points the biologic activity of factor eight. "In a normal person, both level and activity are usually about 100 percent," says Dr. Fineman. "In hemophiliac males, the level is normal, but the activity is very low (less than a few percent). In carrier females, the level is normal, but the activity is only around 50 percent." What are the odds of inheriting or transmitting hemophilia? Approximately 50 percent of daughters born to carrier females will be carriers; while 50 percent of the sons of carrier females will be hemophiliacs. All daughters of hemophiliac males are carriers, but no sons of affected males inherit the disease. In the next year, eight or nine Utah males will be born with hemophilia.

Medication alone can cost up to $22,000 per hemophiliac per year about $1.5 to $2 million annually for the 80-90 known cases in Utah. In addition, there are physician, nurse, hospital and other costs. Many physicians say that of all known genetic diseases, hemophilia has one of the highest known mutation rates, with ap-proximataely ap-proximataely one-third of the cases occurring in families with no prior history of the disease. Dr. Fineman disputes this con-. tention. "There are many cases in which patients do not know their ancestors, andor their relatives, and thus their Ideas By Dr. M.

"Carrier detection is like peeling on onion. With each layer of the pedigree that is stripped away, more carriers and affected af-fected males will be discovered." Dr. Fineman and his colleagues have contacted about 13 families thus far from the Medical Center's hemophilia clinic, and all have been very cooperative. "Some distant relatives of hemophiliacs have been reluctant to participate, but this is usually due to the fact that these individuals have had little or no genetic counseling coun-seling in the past," says Dr. Fineman.

In our country today, architecture and living arrangements make it extremely difficult for people to find privacy or solitude. Even in private homes, privacy is difficult to find because our homes are often built on the open plan so that inhabitants are seldom out of earshot. 343 Fires Reported August marks the midpoint mid-point in the 1979 fire season. During the period from June 1 to August 15, a total of 343 fire reports have been filed by District Fire Wardens on fires occurring state-wide on state and private lands. Less than half of these fires, 142, occurred in wildland areas, 75 percent of these fires were man caused. A total of 4,000 acres have burned, resulting in an estimated $55,000 in City: Channel 2 (NBC) is received Channel 4 (ABC) is received Channel 5 (CBS) is received Channel 7 (PBS) is received 8:00 2 Jerry Falwell 4 Kids Are People Too 7 Sesame Street 8:30 9:00 5 Robert Schuller 2 Rex Humbard 5 Day of Discovery 7 Mister Rogers 4 Animals, Animals, Animals 9:30 5 Tabernacle Choir 7 Electric Company 2 Meet The Press 4 Oral Roberts 5 Face The Nation 7 Studio See 2 Conversation With 4 Let's Face It 5 NFL Today 7 Zoom 2 NFL Football 4 Shopsmith Instruction 5 NFL Football 7 Que Pasa, U.S.A.? 4 Crossfire 7 Consumer Survival Kit BASEBALL At press time, there was a possibility that ABC would air a game originating from the West Coast.

If a woman is not a carrier the disease won't show up in her family," explains Dr. Fineman. "So we often have good news for many family members. We will send a letter let-ter to everyone we test or counsel, so that they won't forget or misinterpret what we have told them." "The carrier detection program, which should take several years to complete, is a part of our statewide medical genetics program, with satellite clinics located throughout Utah. Not patients or families, even those in geographically isolated areas of the state, will have to travel more than 75 miles for counseling."

The high percentage of man caused fires is particularly par-ticularly alarming since it indicates a lack of caution in the use of fire. Remember, fire does not only destroy our range and forests, it can also kill.

"People have a right to know what chances they're taking when they have children," Dr. Fineman believes. "There are many reproductive options available to women who are carriers. It is possible that with genetic counseling and the sophisticated carrier tests now available, hemophilia could become a preventable disease." The carrier detection program works in collaboration with the Medical Center's hemophilia evaluation center.

Self-understanding Self-understanding comes by privately spending time looking within ourselves. All of us have used the phrase, "I need to get away from it all." What we're doing is expressing a need for privacy, a need to step outside the humdrum routine of deadlines and schedules. The governor's challenge to Utahns to vacation in Utah is bringing a large number of people to enjoy the splendor that could only be found here in Utah. With Labor Day upon us and the opening of the hunting season on the horizon, the risk of man caused fires increases.
