They are both genetic blood disorders, which are inherited from the parents.
Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation in the gene responsible for hemoglobin. If a person has inherited the mutation, their bone marrow will produce sticky, sickle-shaped red blood cells, which cause a wide array of issues.
Hemophilia is another blood disorder that is inherited from the parents, but in a different and more complicated way. Hemophiliacs (people suffering from hemophilia) have a problem with blood clotting. They will always bruise easily, and when they bleed, the blood might not clot unless certain actions are taken.
Both diseases affect the blood, and are life long. There are currently no effective cures for them.

∙ 9y agoHemophilia is a bleeding disorder that leads to poor clotting and continuous bleeding. Sickle cell anemia is a disease that is inherited through families. The red blood cells which are normally shaped like a disc take on a sickle or crescent shape.

∙ 12y agoThey're all blood disorders ... the first 2 are genetic.
1)Sickle cell : the red blood cells are not as flexible as they should be, esp when the O2 level is low. Named because of the way red cells look under the microscope.
2) Hemophilia : A deficiency in one of the clotting factors. Patients bleed heavily even from minor cuts ... even internal bleeds can be fatal. Mostly men.
3) Leukemia : a form of cancer where the cells that are growing out of control are white blood cells.

What is a type of red blood cell disorder?
its optional hemophilia or sickle cell anaemia
What is the main difference between hemophilia and sickle cell anemia in the way in which it is inherited?
hemophilia is the deficiency of blood and anemia is the deficiency of red blood cells
A hereditary bleeding disorder that results from lack of clotting factors?
Hemophilia, Sickle Cell anemia.
Are people with Hemophilia prevented of getting Malaria?
No, hemophilia does not confer an advantage against malaria. People with sickle-cell anemia do have an immunity, of sorts.
How do you ge sickle cell anemia?
You get Sickle-Cell Anemia by Birth,it is a genetic disorder.
Is sickle cell anemia a point mutation?
An example of point-mutation is sickle-cell anemia. Sickle-cell disease is hereditary.
Is hemophilia a condition in which blood cells will not carry oxygen?
no.. it's sickle cell anemia due to defective hemoglobin which carries oxygen
Is Sickle cell anemia genetic?
Yes, Sickle Cell Anemia is in fact a genetic disorder.
Is sickle cell anemia recessive or dominant?
Sickle cell anemia is an autosomal recessive disease. Carriers have sickle cell trait, which confers resistance to malaria.
Sickle-cell anemia is an example of a point-mutation?
An example of point-mutation is sickle-cell anemia. Sickle-cell disease is hereditary.
