i believe all types of haemophilia are genetic although i am not sure. but i do know that CLASSIC HAEMOPHILIA is a genetic disorder

Haemophilia A and B are both genetic. Haemophilia A (which is the most common) occurs when your blood lacks a clotting agent called factor 8. Haemophilia B occurs when you lack factor 9 in your blood. There is also acquired Haemophilia, this occurs when the immune system starts attacking clotting agents within the blood, this usually occurs in elderly people. Both forms of genetic haemophilia mostly occur in males, it rarely occurs in females. Unfortunately there is no cure but it is quite easily controlled with injections of the missing clotting agent.
