Hemophilia is actually the lacking of specific proteins in the blood. The liver normally produces these proteins (called clotting factors) but in people with hemophilia it does not function normally, either not producing or produces non funtioning versions of one or more of these clotting factor proteins

∙ 12y agoThis answer is a little tricky. The obvious organ affected would be the liver. The genetic mutation that causes hemophilia either reduces the volume of a specific clotting factor protein that the liver produces or halts it all together.
Since the liver is not producing enough of the clotting factor protein bleeding can occur almost anywhere which is where the rest of the organs can be affected. These organs however are not affected by hemophilia until after bleeding begins.
