1. Haemophilia B

   Haemophilia B, also spelled hemophilia B, is a blood clotting disorder causing easy bruising and bleeding due to an inherited mutation of the gene for factor IX, and resulting in a deficiency of factor IX. It is less common than factor VIII deficiency (haemophilia A).Haemophilia B was first recognized as a distinct disease entity in 1952. It is also known by the eponym Christmas disease, named after Stephen Christmas, the first patient described with haemophilia B. In addition, the first report of its identification was published in the Christmas edition of the British Medical Journal.Most individuals who have Hemophilia B and experience symptoms are men. The prevalence of Hemophilia B in the population is about one in 40,000; Hemophilia B represents about 15% of patients with hemophilia. Many women carriers of the disease have no symptoms. However, an estimated 10-25% of women carriers have mild symptoms; in rare cases, women may have moderate or severe symptoms.

1. haemophilia B

   Haemophilia B, also known as Christmas disease, is a genetic disorder characterized by a deficiency in a clotting protein called factor IX, which is essential for blood to clot properly. This deficiency leads to prolonged bleeding or spontaneous bleeding in muscles, joints, or internal organs. The severity of haemophilia B can vary depending on the amount of factor IX in the blood, with lower levels generally indicating more severe cases. It primarily affects males, but females can be carriers of the gene.
