Hemophilia is increasingly more well managed with blood clotting treatments. There are some clinical trials to try to cure hemophilia with gene therapy.
At the present time, no, but with gene therapy just starting to be used to transplant into patients to produce the necessary clotting factors that are absent, this should be possible in the very near future.
There is currently no cure for hemophilia. It can be controlled.
