What is the difference between Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B?

There are two types of hemophilia: hemophilia A (sometimes called classical hemophilia) and hemophilia B (sometimes called Christmas disease). Both are caused by a low level or absence of one of the proteins in the blood (called factors) that control bleeding. Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of factor VIII, and hemophilia B is caused by a deficiency of factor IX. There is no difference between the two types of hemophilia, except that hemophilia B is about five times less common than hemophilia A.


What are the types of hemophilia?

Hemophilia primarily includes two main types: Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B. Hemophilia A, the most common type, is caused by a deficiency of factor VIII, while Hemophilia B, also known as Christmas disease, results from a deficiency of factor IX. A rarer type, Hemophilia C, is linked to a deficiency of factor XI and is less severe than the other two types. Each type is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner, primarily affecting males.

What is an inherited abnormality that causes a deficiency of a specific clotting factor resulting in a reduced ablitity to clot blood?

Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that slows down the blood clotting process. People who have hemophilia often have longer bleeding after an injury or surgery. People who have severe hemophilia have spontaneous bleeding into the joints and muscles. Hemophilia occurs more commonly in males than in females.The two most common types of hemophilia are hemophilia A (also known as classic hemophilia) and hemophilia B (also known as Christmas disease). People who have hemophilia A have low levels of a blood clotting factor called factor eight (FVIII). People who have hemophilia B have low levels of factor nine (FIX).The two types of hemophilia are caused by permanent gene changes (mutations) in different genes.

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.
