Women can, in fact, suffer from haemophilia, but it is more rare in women, as it is a recessive, sex-linked X chromosome disorder, so in order to manifest the disease, a woman would need two copies of the defective gene, while men need only one. Thus it is guaranteed to manifest in a man who carries the gene, but not in a woman unless she receives the gene from both parents.
They can, but it is very rare. Quote from the Related Link:
Men and women each have 23 pairs of chromosomes (pronounced: kro-muh-soamz). Women have two X chromosomes; men have one X and one Y chromosome. Hemophilia is an X-linked genetic disorder, which means that it's passed from mother to son on the X chromosome. If the mother carries the gene for hemophilia on one of her X chromosomes, each of her sons will have a 50% chance of having hemophilia. Although girls rarely develop the symptoms of hemophilia itself, they can be carriers of the disease. For a girl to get hemophilia, she would have to receive the disease on the chromosome she receives from her father, who would have hemophilia, as well as from the X chromosome of her mother, who would be a carrier. Although this is not impossible, it is highly unlikely.
Because hemophilia is associated to the X-chromosomes, which means to the women's chromosomes.

Girls can get hemophilia, but it's much less common than in boys because girls need two copies of the defective gene in order to get it whereas boys will be hemophiliacs with just one.
Since Hemophilia A is an "X Chromosome" disease and women have two "X" Chromosomes, women with only one "X" Chromosome with the disorder would be carriers of the disease but not affected by it. Women with both "X" Chromosomes with the disorder would be very rare.
All Girls will be carriers of Hemophilia. All Boys will be unaffected (they won't have Hemophilia).
All Girls will be carriers of Hemophilia and all Males will be unaffected (they won't have Hemophilia).
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.
Hemophilia is one disease in which blood does not clot normally. von Willebrand's Disease
blood do not clot it is due to disease that disease called haemophiliafromshrey batham ,class 1oU.D.C.A
hemophilia B is also known as Christmas disease because Stephen Christmas was the first patient with the disease, and hemophilia A is just known as classic hemophilia.
No, Hemophilia is a genetic disease. A person is born with it.
There is no chance that the child will have hemophilia even if the spouse has hemophilia. Any girls the couple has will be carriers if the spouse has hemophilia.

Hemophilia is not a disease, my dear friend. Rather, it is a genetic disorder regarding the blood.
No - haemophilia is a genetic disease, it is not infectious.
