Up to 20% of people develop antibodies to the clotting factors which makes treatment more difficult. [3] The medication desmopressin may be used in those with mild haemophilia A. [16] Studies of gene therapy are in early human trials. [17] Haemophilia A affects about 1 in 5,000–10,000, while haemophilia B affects about 1 in 40,000 males at birth.
X chromosome. The factor IX gene is located on the X chromosome (Xq27.1-q27.2). It is an X-linked recessive trait, which explains why males are affected in greater numbers. [9] [10] A change in the F9 gene, which makes blood clotting factor IX (9), causes haemophilia B. [11]
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.
[4] [10] The prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time should completely correct with a 1:1 mixing study with normal plasma if haemophilia C is present; in contrast, if a lupus anticoagulant is present as the cause of a prolonged aPTT, the aPTT will not correct with a 1:1 mixing study.

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 disorder.
Contaminated hemophilia blood products were a serious public health problem in the late 1970s up to 1985. Hemophilia A causes a deficiency in Factor VIII , a protein required for blood clotting. Factor VIII injections are a common treatment to prevent or stop bleeding in people with hemophilia A. [ 1 ]
Life expectancy development in some big countries of the world since 1960 Life expectancy at birth, measured by region, between 1950 and 2050 Life expectancy by world region, from 1770 to 2018 Human life expectancy is a statistical measure of the estimate of the average remaining years of life at a given age.
