Joint capsule. Haemophilia A's phenotype has a quite wide range of symptoms encompassing both internal and external bleeding episodes. Individuals with more severe haemophilia tend to experience more intense and frequent bleeding, whereas those with mild haemophilia typically exhibit milder symptoms unless subjected to surgical procedures or significant trauma.
Haemophilia C is an autosomal genetic disorder involving a lack of functional clotting Factor XI. Haemophilia C is not completely recessive, as heterozygous individuals also show increased bleeding. [42] The type of haemophilia known as parahaemophilia is a mild and rare form and is due to a deficiency in factor V.
Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening bleeding disorder characterized by autoantibodies directed against coagulation factor VIII. These autoantibodies constitute the most common spontaneous inhibitor to any coagulation factor and may induce spontaneous bleeding in patients with no previous history of a bleeding ...

World Hemophilia Day is held annually on April 17 by the WFH. [11] It is an awareness day for hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, [12] which also serves to raise funds and attract volunteers for the WFH. [13] It was started in 1989; April 17 was chosen in honor of Frank Schnabel's birthday. [14] [15]

Emicizumab, sold under the brand name Hemlibra, is a humanized bispecific monoclonal antibody for the treatment of haemophilia A, developed by Genentech and Chugai (both organizations are subsidiaries of Hoffmann-La Roche). [4] A Phase I clinical trial found that it was well tolerated by healthy subjects. [5]
Factor VIII, an essential blood coagulation protein, [12] is used as a medication to treat and prevent bleeding in people with hemophilia A and other causes of low factor VIII. [13] [14] Certain preparations may also be used in those with von Willebrand's disease. [14] It is given by slow injection into a vein. [13]
