Your blood.

A hemophiliac is a person who is a "free bleeder", meaning if they get even a minor cut, they will bleed profusely. If they get just a little more than a small cut, they can actually bleed to death because their blood does not clot the way it should.

Hemophilia is a genetic problem with the clotting factors missing in the blood which are needed to clot blood and prevent uncontrolled bleeding from even minor cuts. So it is the circulatory system that is primarily affected. Although other body systems can also be affected such as the musculoskeletal system (achy red and swollen joints, etc.), digestive system (problems with bleeding gums that can affect dental hygiene), bleeding of internal organs, etc.
The liver is responsible for making the clotting factor proteins. A lack of one or more of these proteins (depending on which protein is missing) can cause hemophilia. In this way, hemophilia does slightly effect the liver, but the remaining functions of the liver are intact.

Indirectly, hemophilia can have an effect on any organ if the individual has a bleeding episode in or around it.

Hemophilia affects and slows the clotting of blood so that when you get a cut you loose mass ammounts of blood and in more severe die from blood loss. Though now this is uncommon because scientists have developed artifiical clotting factors.

The blood is affected. The blood of a person with Hemophila lacks the clotting factor, so people with it are "Free Bleeders."

What gene does hemophilia affect?

The gene that causes hemophilia is located on the X chromosome. A woman who gives birth to a child with hemophilia often has other male relatives who have hemophilia. Sometimes, a baby will be born with hemophilia when there is no known family history. This means the gene can be"hidden"( or passed down through several generations of female carriers without affecting any male members of the family) or the change in the X chromosome is new (a spontaneous mutation).
