Females can be carriers, symptomatic, or full hemophiliacs themselves and should in theory have a slightly higher prevalence of the genetic trate. It would be safe to say that more than 1 in 5000 people born, cary the genes for hemophilia. Roughly 1 in 10,000 births are males with hemophilia.

People who have hemophilia A have low levels of a blood clotting factor called factor eight (FVIII). People who have hemophilia B have low levels of factor nine (FIX).The two types of hemophilia are caused by permanent gene changes (mutations) in different genes.
