Haemophilia (also spelled hemophilia) is genetic disorder. It is more licely for a male to get it than female.

About one of 5,000-10,000 male babies are born with Haemophilia A. About one of 20,000-34,000 male babies are born with Haemophilia B.

Haemophilia is a genetic disorder. Usually males are the victims and females are carriers of this disease.

There is no prominent cause of this disease but now-a-days it is seen that the families which do not have any history of haemophilia may also have a haemophiliac child. The reason for this is that sometimes there is mutation at genetic level which may lead to deficiency of clotting factor(VIII OR IX) in the blood of the child resulting in haemophilia.

One may also suffer from haemophilia at a very later stage of his life but that is very rare. This is the case of Acquired Haemophilia.

Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder - which means it can skip a generation, but only if it is carried in the female line.

A female can be a carrier of haemophilia, but a male cannot. This is because males only have one X chromosome, so if they have a defective X they will have the disorder. If a father has haemophilia, all of his daughters will also have haemophilia.
