Types of hemophilia
1) (Classic Hemophilia): This type occurs due to low amounts of clotting factor VIII.
2) Hemophilia B (Christmas Disease): This type occurs due to low levels of clotting factor IX.
3) Hemophilia C: This type occurs due to low levels of factor XI.
4) Para hemophilia: This type occurs due to low levels of factor V.
5) Acquired hemophilia: This type of hemophilia occurs with cancers, autoimmune disorders, and pregnancy.
Most of the affected children inherit hemophilia from their parents, who carry an abnormal gene on the X chromosome. But, an unusual mutation may occur later in life, or an autoimmune disease attacks the clotting factors causing hemophilia.
