	Haemophilia
		Haemophilia is a rare blood disorder caused by an inherited gene.
		Haemophilia is a blood clotting disorder in which one of the essential clotting factors is deficient.
		When the mother carries the haemophilia gene and the father is unaffected there will be a 50 per cent chance at each birth that their daughter may carry the haemophilia gene or that their son may have haemophilia.

	NNHF - About Haemophilia
		Haemophilia is a congenital bleeding disorder that affects males.
		Those with haemophilia B have similar problems with Factor IX (FIX). Haemophilia is characterised as "severe" when the activity of the affected clotting factor (FVIII or FIX) is less than 1% of normal.
		Haemophilia is termed "mild" when the relevant clotting factor activity is greater than 5%, but less than normal and "moderate" when clotting factor activity is between 1% and 5% of normal. Approximately 50% of haemophilia patients have severe disease and can require treatment for bleeding several times per month.

		The most famous haemophilia victim among her descendants was her great-grandson, Alexei, Tsarevich of Russia.

	HAEMOPHILIA, VON WILLEBRAND SYNDROME and other coagulation defects: Contact a Family - for families with disabled ...
		Haemophilia occurs in about 1 in 10,000 of the population in the UK, with haemophilia A (six thousand patients) being five times as frequent as haemophilia B (one thousand two hundred and fifty patients).
		These are generally milder than haemophilia and are usually autosomal recessive, only being fully expressed in the homozygous (having two identical forms of the gene, one inherited from each parent) or doubly heterozygous (having two different forms of a particular gene, one inherited from each parent) state.
		Haemophilia A and B are sex (X) linked and it is usually possible to determine the causative genetic abnormality but new spontaneous mutations are not uncommon.

	Bayer Biological Products EU - About Haemophilia
		Individuals with haemophilia have deficient or defective coagulation (or clotting) proteins in their bloodstream, which causes the body to bleed uncontrollably from even minor injuries.
		Haemophilia is an X-linked (or sex linked) inherited disorder that can be passed along by females who carry a recessive gene for the disease.
		Haemophilia, a potentially life-threatening disease, is categorized as mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the amount of bleeding that results from minor injuries.
