Hemophilia is nearly always caused by a genetic error causing the lack of a normally functioning clotting factor. While these disorders are typically congenital and present from birth, in rare cases, they may be acquired at some point later in life due to various health complications.

    * Hemophilia A is an X-linked genetic disorder involving a lack of functional clotting Factor VIII and represents 90% of haemophilia cases.[3]
    * Hemophilia B is an X-linked genetic disorder involving a lack of functional clotting Factor IX.
    * Hemophilia C is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder involving a lack of functional clotting Factor XI.

in relation to hemophilia..

is it true that only guys suffer this condition? i heard from an officemate before that men are the ones suffering ...then women tend to be the carrier?

Totoo ba yun?
