Haemophilia B, also spelled hemophilia B, is a blood clotting disorder causing easy bruising and bleeding due to an inherited mutation of the gene for factor IX, and resulting in a deficiency of factor IX. It is less common than factor VIII deficiency ( haemophilia A ).
Haemophilia A (or hemophilia A) is a blood clotting disorder caused by a genetic deficiency in clotting factor VIII, thereby resulting in significant susceptibility to bleeding, both internally and externally. This condition occurs almost exclusively in males born to carrier mothers due to X-linked recessive inheritance.

It educates people with bleeding disorders and lobbies for improved medical treatment. [4] [5] 75% of people in the world with bleeding ...
The factor IX protein is composed of four protein domains: the Gla domain, two tandem copies of the EGF domain and a C-terminal trypsin -like peptidase domain which carries out the catalytic cleavage. Human factor IX protein domain architecture, where each protein domain is represented by a coloured box. The N-terminal EGF domain has been shown ...
