What Is It?
====Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that slows the blood clotting process. There are two major types of this condition, hemophilia A (classic hemophilia) and hemophilia B (Christmas disease). These two types are similar in their symptoms, but are caused by mutations in different genes! Another form of this disorder isn't caused by inherited gene mutations, but by abnormal bleeding into the skin, muscles, or other soft tissues.==== = = =Extra Facts:= = = =Symptoms and Life Expectancy=
 * ====Hemophilia A and hemophilia B are inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern.====
 * ====1 in 4,000 to 1 in 5,000 males worldwide are born with this disorder.====
 * ====Hemophilia B occurs in approximately 1 in 20,000 newborn males worldwide.====

In a mild case of Hemophilia the life expectancy is 75 years.
Some symptoms of hemophilia are bleeding anywhere, but most commonly in into joints, muscles, and digestive tract. People with a very serious case of Hemophilia will bleed spontaneously
