		Because the genes that cause hemophilia are found on the same chromosome pair as the genes that determine gender, the appearance of hemophilia shows a definite pattern based on whether a baby is a boy or a girl.
		Hemophilia A and B are inherited as sex-linked recessive disorders occurring almost exclusively in males.
		In hemophilia A or B, the Factor VIII or IX gene is nonfunctioning.

	Understanding Hemophilia -- the Basics
		The hemophilias are inherited disorders that cause abnormal bleeding.
		If you have very mild hemophilia, you may not have any noticeable symptoms until you undergo a dental procedure, which may cause you to bleed heavily, or you may not have any unusual bleeding unless you are injured in an accident or have surgery.
		Men who have hemophilia do not pass the disease to their sons because boys inherit only a Y chromosome from their father; however, they do pass their X chromosome, and thus a defective gene, to each of their daughters, so each of their daughters is a carrier.

		Hemophilia is a rare genetic blood clotting disorder that primarily affects males.
		Two of the most common forms of hemophilia are A and B. In persons with hemophilia A (also called classical hemophilia), clotting Factor VIII is not present in sufficient amounts or is absent.

	Hemophilia One \| Medical Information about Hemophilia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A: Hemophilia is a genetically inherited bleeding disorder.
		Hemophilia B is due to a deficiency of factor IX (FIX).
		In people with hemophilia, these genes produce an insufficient amount of FVIII or FIX which explains why the severity of bleeding is constant within families, and why women with the hemophilia gene may have normal clotting as their second (usually normal) X chromosome produces a sufficient amount of factor.

	Hemophilia
		Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by the absence or decreased levels of certain blood clotting factors.
		The more common form, Hemophilia A, is caused by a Factor VIII deficiency, and the less common form, Hemophilia B, is caused by Factor IX deficiency.
		Hemophilia B is five times less common than Hemophilia A. Hemophilia is characterized by prolonged bleeding time due to the blood’s reduced ability to clot.
