Royal hemophilia is the result of what inheritance?
Hemophilia is broken into three subcategories; Hemophilia A, Hemophilia B, and Hemophilia C. These subcategories designate a person as having a deficiency of one of three specific clotting proteins. Hemophilia A is the deficiency of the protein called Clotting Factor VIII. Hemophilia B is the deficiency of Clotting Factor IX. Hemophilia C is the deficiency of Clotting Factor XI. "Royal" hemophilia is simply a reference to Hemophilia B and is therefore a result of a deficiency in the Clotting Factor IX protein. It is sometimes called the royal disease because it has been known to have been passed through some royal families throughout history.
People with the disease hemophilia do not produce the chemical fibrin. Explain why hemophilia is a serious disease?
Prior to 1985, there were no laws enacted within the U.S. to screen blood. As a result, many haemophilia patients who received untested and unscreened clotting factor prior to 1992 were at an extreme risk for contracting HIV and hepatitis C via these blood products. It is estimated that more than 50% of the haemophilia population, over 10,000 people, contracted HIV from the tainted blood supply in the United States alone. The main symptom of hemophilia is bleeding. Mild cases may go unnoticed until later in life, when they occur during surgery or after trauma. In more severe cases, serious bleeding may occur without any cause. Internal bleeding may occur anywhere. Bleeding into joints is common.A small percentage of people with hemophilia may die from severe bleeding. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000537.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemophilia#Blood_contamination_issues

Why is hemophilia called the royal disease?
Hemophilia is often referred to as the "royal disease" due to its prevalence among European royal families in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom was a carrier of the disorder, and her descendants passed it on to various European royal families through intermarriage. This interconnectedness spread the condition, affecting notable figures in Spain, Russia, and Germany, which contributed to its royal association. The term highlights both the genetic nature of the disorder and its historical ties to monarchy.
Who was the first person to discover hemophilia?
Putting an actual name to the discovery of hemophilia is impossible. In ancient hebrew texts (100s AD) there is reference to hemophilia and even recognition the it was genetic and sex linked. There was however no understanding of the disorder, what caused it, treatment of it, or even a name given to it. In the 900s AD, and arabic doctor named Albucasis described what he termed as Blood Disease. He described the inheritance pattern and some symptoms such as uncontrolled bleeding from minor trauma. In time, the understanding of how the the disorder could be treated developed before they even understood what the cause was. Without any understanding of genetics or clotting factor proteins (or even that such things existed for that matter) some hemophiliacs were given whole blood transfusions to assist their clotting (probably started as a means to simply replace lost blood). The term haemophilia was first coined in 1928 by Friedrich Hopff (this term is still the standard way of writing "hemophilia" in much of the world). It was not until the 1940s that science stepped in and actually showed that blood transfusions did in fact work to normalize the clotting of a person with hemophilia. This study was conducted by a doctor Pavlosky from Argentina. In the mid 1960s the clotting factor proteins were discovered and the true understanding of hemophilia began. Who first discovered hemophilia? ...Probably the family of the first hemophiliac, well before recorded history. Discovery and understanding are completely different monsters.
