1. hemophilia

   Hemophilia is a rare genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to make blood clots, a process needed to stop bleeding. This results in people bleeding longer after an injury, easy bruising, and an increased risk of bleeding inside joints or the brain. There are two main types of hemophilia - type A and type B, depending on which clotting factor is missing or reduced. Hemophilia A is the most common type, caused by a deficiency in factor VIII, while Hemophilia B is caused by a deficiency in factor IX. The disorder is typically inherited from one's parents through an X-linked recessive pattern.

1. Hemophilia

   A deficiency or abnormality of a blood coagulation factor characterized by the tendency to spontaneous or exaggerated post-traumatic hemorrhage, Hemophilia is typically a hereditary disorder but, rarely, may be acquired. Inherited coagulation factor-deficient hemophilias include hemophilia A or classic hemophilia (Factor VIII deficiency) hemophilia B or Christmas disease (Factor IX deficiency), and hemophilia C (Factor XI deficiency). In individuals without hereditary hemophilia A, Factor VIII inhibitors may occur spontaneously as autoantibodies, resulting in a condition known as 'acquired hemophilia.' Approximately 10 % of patients with acquired hemophilia have an underlying malignancy. --2004
