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.

Which disease did royal families spread through inter breeding?
The Royal Families Romanov of Russia and Queen Victoria's family struggled with hemophilia because of interbreeding.
Why is hemophilia called the royal disease?
Hemophilia is often referred to as the "royal disease" due to its prevalence among European royal families in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom was a carrier of the disorder, and her descendants passed it on to various European royal families through intermarriage. This interconnectedness spread the condition, affecting notable figures in Spain, Russia, and Germany, which contributed to its royal association. The term highlights both the genetic nature of the disorder and its historical ties to monarchy.

Who was the first person to discover hemophilia?
Putting an actual name to the discovery of hemophilia is impossible. In ancient hebrew texts (100s AD) there is reference to hemophilia and even recognition the it was genetic and sex linked. There was however no understanding of the disorder, what caused it, treatment of it, or even a name given to it. In the 900s AD, and arabic doctor named Albucasis described what he termed as Blood Disease. He described the inheritance pattern and some symptoms such as uncontrolled bleeding from minor trauma. In time, the understanding of how the the disorder could be treated developed before they even understood what the cause was. Without any understanding of genetics or clotting factor proteins (or even that such things existed for that matter) some hemophiliacs were given whole blood transfusions to assist their clotting (probably started as a means to simply replace lost blood). The term haemophilia was first coined in 1928 by Friedrich Hopff (this term is still the standard way of writing "hemophilia" in much of the world). It was not until the 1940s that science stepped in and actually showed that blood transfusions did in fact work to normalize the clotting of a person with hemophilia. This study was conducted by a doctor Pavlosky from Argentina. In the mid 1960s the clotting factor proteins were discovered and the true understanding of hemophilia began. Who first discovered hemophilia? ...Probably the family of the first hemophiliac, well before recorded history. Discovery and understanding are completely different monsters.
Royal hemophilia is the result of inheritance?
Yes, royal hemophilia, also known as the "Royal disease," is a hereditary bleeding disorder caused by a mutation in the gene responsible for producing a blood clotting protein. It is inherited on the X chromosome. Because males have only one X chromosome, they are more likely to express the hemophilia trait if they inherit the mutated gene.
Is hemophilia a sex-linked inheritance disease?
Yes, hemophilia is sex-linked.
What is the nickname for hemophilia?
The nickname for hemophilia is "the royal disease" because it was prevalent in European royal families due to the genetic inheritance pattern of the disorder. Hemophilia is a rare genetic bleeding disorder that impairs the blood's ability to clot properly, leading to prolonged bleeding and easy bruising. It is caused by a deficiency in clotting factors VIII (hemophilia A) or IX (hemophilia B).
What is hemophilia commonly called?
Many years ago, it was refered to as 'the Royal Disease" also the "Bleeding disease". Hemophilia B is also known as Christmas Disease.
How did England's royal families help in the genetics of hemophilia?
Queen Victoria was known as the "Godmother of Europe" because every monarch in Europe was related to her through her children. Her children were carries of the disease hemophilia and as a result the heirs to the Russian and Spanish Royal Families contracted the disease severely hurting the two monarchies.
What is the Inheritance pattern of hemophilia?
If the father has hemophilia and the mother is a carrier, sons will have a 50% chance of having hemophilia. Daughters will have a 50% chance of having hemophilia and a 50% chance of being a carrier. It is very rare for both parents to have these defective genes.If the father does not have hemophilia and the mother is a carrier, sons will have a 50% chance of having hemophilia. Daughters will have a 50% chance of being carriers.If the father has hemophilia and the mother has normal blood, all sons will be normal and all daughters will be carriers.
The Royal disease of hemophilia is?
an X-linked genetic disorder
How has the history of hemophilia been impacted by the practice of royal family inbreeding?
The history of hemophilia has been impacted by the practice of royal family inbreeding because the genetic disorder is more likely to be passed down when closely related individuals have children. Inbreeding among royal families increased the chances of hemophilia being inherited, leading to its prevalence in certain royal bloodlines.

Why is hemophilia famous?
Hemophilia is considered a Royal Disease because..... Queen Victoria of England passed the mutation to her son Leopold and, through several of her daughters, who were married to other royal Families in Europe, including the royal families of Spain, Germany, and Russia.
Is hemophilia a pattern inheritance?
Yes, hemophilia is typically inherited as an X-linked recessive disorder, meaning it is passed down through a mutation on the X chromosome. This pattern of inheritance results in the condition being more commonly seen in males, while females are often carriers of the gene.
German scientists invented the 'royal disease'?
The term "royal disease" refers to hemophilia, a genetic disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot. It became known as such because it was notably present in European royal families, particularly in the British royal family due to Queen Victoria's carrier status. German scientists contributed to the understanding of this condition through medical research, helping to identify its genetic basis and inheritance patterns. The disease's prevalence among royals highlights the impact of genetics and inheritance in historical contexts.
