Haemophilia is an heriditary blood disorder. Haemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of blood clotting factor VIII. It is also known as Classical Haemophilia. Haemophilia B is due to a deficiency of blood clotting factor IX and is also known Factor IX and Christmas disease once the patient has been diagnosed with the disease.
In almost all the cases, females are the carriers of the disease and males suffer from the disease. Queen Victoria was a carrier of haemophilia A. Prothrombin producing platelets in such persons are not found in very low concentration.
