Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder. It is usually genetic. The body cannot make certain proteins needed for proper clotting of the blood. So even a small wound can present a major risk of bleeding to death, and patients with this have to be given the missing proteins so their blood will clot. Only the blood is affected, not the person's IQ, appearance, nor abilities.
Down syndrome is a chromosome disorder, where there is an extra copy of chromosome 21. It causes physical and mental retardation, and people with it usually have a certain appearance. Sometimes those born with this can be trained to function on their own and live almost ordinary lives, but most require special care.
