A male with hemophilia does in fact carry the genes and can pass them on to his daughters, so yes, some boys (if they have hemophilia) are carriers.
What treatments are available for Hemophilia A?
A: Treatment of hemophilia involves replacement of factor VIII chronically, with additional doses administered during phases of acute bleeding. Patients with mild hemophilia A can sometimes be treated with a synthetic hormone called desmopressin. Desmopressin stimulates the release of the carrier for factor VIII, thus causing increases in blood concentration of factor VIII.
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.

What is mixing test in Hemophilia?
To my knowledge, mixing tests are used with some types of acquired hemophilia to determine the source of the hemophilia. In the test, I believe they mix two separate samples of plasma together. One sample being from the affected individual who has acquired hemophilia, one from a normal source without the acquired hemophilia. If the ability of the blood to coagulate is decreased, this would indicate that the source of the acquired hemophilia was in the blood itself (some anticoagulant). If the blood, once mixed retained normal clotting, this would indicate a problem with the actual production of the needed clot forming components.
