	Haemophilia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Haemophilia A and B are inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern.
		The genes for both Haemophilia A and Haemophilia B are located on the X chromosome; other clotting factor deficiencies exist, but are not considered to be types of haemophilia because they are passed on through autosomes rather than through the X chromosome.
		Haemophilia is particularly dangerous in adult women because of the recurring bloodflows involved in menstruation; so they must take clotting factor to survive.

	The Hemophilias: Genetic Disorders Passed from Mother to Son (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Haemophilia is a blood disorder that prevents blood from clotting properly, leading to uncontrolled bleeding.
		Haemophilia A is responsible for eighty percent of all cases.
		Haemophilia C affects factor XI proteins and is unusual in that it affects both males and females.

		The diagnosis of haemophilia can be accepted by the Repatriation Commission when it is confirmed by a general medical practitioner or specialist as the final diagnosis or on advice by a Departmental Medical Officer.
		Haemophilia B, also known as Christmas disease, is indistinguishable clinically from haemophilia A, but accurate laboratory diagnosis is critical as treatment requires the administration of a different plasma fraction.
		Haemophilia C involves the inherited deficiency of factor XI, and is especially common in Ashkenazi Jews.

		Supporters have pointed out that haemophilia victims who received transfusions in the 1970s and 1980s did not have any of the risks that we now know exist explained to them, although scientific knowledge available to Whitehall at that time suggested that hepatitis C could be transmitted through blood.
		It is clear that hepatitis C infection contributes to deaths from the complications of chronic liver disease, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular cancer.

	Haemophilia B (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Haemophilia B or Christmas Disease is a recessively inherited X-linked bleeding disorder which results from deficiency of procoagulant factor IX Affected males suffer from joint and muscle bleeds and easy bruising, the severity of which is closely correlated with the level of activity of coagulation factor IX in their blood (FIX:C).
		Haemophilia severity is defined by FIX:C level in plasma, where normal individuals have between 0.5 and 1.5iu/ml; severely affected individuals have <0.02iu/ml, moderate 0.02-0.10iu/ml and mild greater than 0.109iu/ml.
		The Haemophilia B Database can be consulted to determine whether the change has been previously reported in a patient having similar disease severity.

		Finally, haemophilia patients who require transfusions of blood products are at increased risk of contracting viruses from infected plasma, although this is less of a problem today than it was in the past.
		The infection rate for hepatitis C was even higher: almost 100 percent of people treated with pooled plasma for haemophilia were infected with hepatitis C in the 1980s.
		In fact, infection with hepatitis C causes a thirty-fold increase in the risk of liver cirrhosis.
