Hemophilia is not classified as a chromosome abnormality; rather, it is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in specific genes responsible for blood clotting factors.

These genes are located on the X chromosome, which is why hemophilia predominantly affects males, while females can be carriers. Thus, while it involves genetic factors, hemophilia itself is not due to a chromosomal abnormality.
