A Plasmart Initiative

Curing All Human Blood Factor Mutations

Permanently. Precisely. Across generations.

Plasmart is building the genomic foundation to cure hereditary blood factor deficiencies — mapping every variant across Factor I through XIII, archiving family genomes, and preparing the data that future gene therapies will need.

About Bleeding Disorders Our Approach Sequence Me Program

Bleeding disorders are often overlooked and underdiagnosed. Despite affecting millions worldwide, inherited coagulation factor deficiencies receive far less research focus than conditions of similar prevalence. As a result of lower awareness, increased time to diagnosis, and a lack of treatment innovation, many people remain undiagnosed or improperly treated.

Current treatments have significant limitations. Many patients rely on frequent IV infusions of clotting factor concentrates. Some miss school or work due to bleeding episodes or treatment schedules. Women with bleeding disorders face heavy menstrual bleeding and dangerous postpartum hemorrhage. A single deficiency in any of the thirteen coagulation factors can mean a lifetime of medical intervention.

Hereditary deficiencies in any of these proteins cause bleeding disorders. Whole-genome sequencing covers them all — every exon, every known pathogenic variant.

By analyzing parental and child DNA, we seek to pioneer precise interventions that correct underlying mutations at their source — so children, grandchildren, and generations to come can live free from the burden of bleeding disorders.

Our approach starts with a simple truth: you cannot cure what you have not sequenced. Every family affected by a bleeding disorder carries unique variants that must be mapped, understood, and preserved before gene therapy can reach them.

The genome does not lie. A single nucleotide change in the F8 gene — one letter out of 3.2 billion — can cause Hemophilia A. Current genotyping arrays check less than 0.1% of the genome. They miss the vast majority of pathogenic variants in coagulation factor genes.

30× whole-genome sequencing reads everything: every exon, every intron, every regulatory region. It produces the raw FASTQ, aligned BAM, and variant-called VCF files that researchers and clinicians need.

Data is the foundation of future cures. Gene therapy for Hemophilia A and B is already in clinical trials. But these therapies need precise variant data to work — they must know exactly what is broken before they can fix it.

Plasmart's Sequence Me program archives complete family genomes today so that when curative therapies become available, families will have the data ready. No re-sequencing. No delays. Just the information needed to act.
