For the most part, yes. Both disorders effect clotting, both typically lead to the same types of bleeding and both range from severe to mild. They differ in which protein molecule is missing, but the results are pretty similar.

(If your car were missing a tire, there would be some differences that depend on which tire was missing, however the overall effect would be pretty similar regardless of which tire was gone.)

What is the difference between Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B?

There are two types of hemophilia: hemophilia A (sometimes called classical hemophilia) and hemophilia B (sometimes called Christmas disease). Both are caused by a low level or absence of one of the proteins in the blood (called factors) that control bleeding. Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of factor VIII, and hemophilia B is caused by a deficiency of factor IX. There is no difference between the two types of hemophilia, except that hemophilia B is about five times less common than hemophilia A.

Why is hemophilia B called the Christmas disease?

Hemophilia B is called the Christmas disease because it was first discovered in a young boy named Stephen Christmas who experienced severe bleeding after a minor injury on Christmas day in 1952. This incident led to the identification of hemophilia B as a distinct type of hemophilia caused by a deficiency in clotting factor IX.


Royal hemophilia is the result of what inheritance?

Hemophilia is broken into three subcategories; Hemophilia A, Hemophilia B, and Hemophilia C. These subcategories designate a person as having a deficiency of one of three specific clotting proteins. Hemophilia A is the deficiency of the protein called Clotting Factor VIII. Hemophilia B is the deficiency of Clotting Factor IX. Hemophilia C is the deficiency of Clotting Factor XI. "Royal" hemophilia is simply a reference to Hemophilia B and is therefore a result of a deficiency in the Clotting Factor IX protein. It is sometimes called the royal disease because it has been known to have been passed through some royal families throughout history.


Are factor 5 and hemophilia the same?

Factor V deficiency and hemophilia are not the same; they are distinct bleeding disorders. Hemophilia primarily refers to hemophilia A, which is caused by a deficiency in factor VIII, or hemophilia B, caused by a deficiency in factor IX. Factor V deficiency, on the other hand, is a rare bleeding disorder resulting from a deficiency in factor V, which is critical for blood clotting. While both conditions lead to issues with blood coagulation, they involve different factors and have different genetic causes.
