It can be. Basically most mutations (regardless of type; translocation, reversal, transcription, etc...) can cause hemophilia if they occur within a specific part of the genetic sequencing that codes for the production of the clotting factor proteins. This genetic sequence if found in a segment of the X chromosome.

According to the research I've done, Prader-Willi Syndrome is rarely a result of translocation, but it is a possibility. Translocation in this syndrome results in an inactivation of genes on the paternal chromosome 15.

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.


Is hemophilia a hereditary disease or acquired from microorganisms?

Hemophilia is not acquired from microorganisms. Hemophilia is typically a genetic disorder that can either be inherited or result from a random mutation. In rare cases non genetic forms (that can not be inherited or passed on) of hemophilia can be acquired due to liver impairment, and certain medications.
