Hemophilia Treatment
Hemophilia is a rare genetic bleeding disorder that almost always occurs in males. A person has hemophilia when they inherit problems with certain blood-clotting factors, making them unable to work properly. Blood-clotting factors are needed to help stop bleeding after a cut or injury and to prevent spontaneous bleeding. The hemophilia gene can contain many different errors, leading to different degrees of abnormality in the amount of clotting factor produced.
There are two major types of hemophilia:
Hemophilia A: Caused by a deficiency of active clotting factor VIII (8). Approximately 1 out of every 5,000 male babies is born with hemophilia A.
Hemophilia B (Christmas disease): Caused by a lack of active clotting factor IX (9). It is less common, occurring in 1 out of every 30,000 male babies.
