What is the difference between anemia and hemophilia?

Anemia is a generic term referring to "inadequate oxygen capacity in the blood"; anemia can be caused by anything from excessive blood loss to parasites on the red blood cells to inadequate red blood cell formation in the bone marrow. Hemophilia is a more specific term referring to "inadequate blood clotting capacity"; there are multiple types of hemophilia but they are all bleeding disorders. It is very common for people with hemophilia to develop anemia. However, very few people who have anemia also have hemophilia.


Does frame shift mutation affect hemophilia?

Frame shift mutations that occur on the X chromosome and within the potion of code that controls the formation of clotting factors can cause hemophilia. Frame shift mutations are only one of many types of mutations that can cause the disorder. For hemophilia it's not so much the type of mutation but the location of the mutation within the genetic code.

How does hemophilia affect your blood?

Haemophilia lowers blood plasma clotting factor levels of the coagulation factors needed for a normal clotting process. Thus when a blood vessel is injured, a temporary scab does form, but the missing coagulation factors prevent fibrin formation, which is necessary to maintain the blood clot. Thus a haemophiliac does not bleed more intensely than a normal person, but can bleed for a much longer amount of time. In severe haemophiliacs even a minor injury could result in blood loss lasting days, weeks, or not ever healing completely. In areas such as the brain or inside joints, this can be fatal or permanently debilitating.In short, it makes your wounds harder to heal/takes longer for them to heal.Hemophilia is found in the blood. It is a disease that causes the blood to not clot properly.
