Hemophilia-Description

Hemophilia-Description Hemophilia is a disease in the blood. People with hemophilia have a clotting factor that is missing or doesn't work properly. The clot that forms can easily fall apart and makes it difficult for the cut to stop bleeding. It is transmitted from parent to offspring. Hemophilia is a X-linked recessive gene which is found mostly in males. A female baby will only get hemophilia if she gets it from both her mother and father, which happens very rarely.Hemophilia can also happen during development in the womb. There are two major types of hemophilia: hemophilia A and hemophilia B.
