Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that makes the blood not clot appropriately after an injury or surgery. The disorder is inherited, mainly due to insufficient blood-clotting proteins (Tiede, Collins, Knoebl, Teitel, Kessler, et al., 2020). However, some other people have no family history of the disease, and so the disorder is mainly caused by changes in genes located at the X chromosomes that make the clotting protein needed in the blood to form clotting after a cut. This change in genes can prevent the blood clotting protein not to function as required. Some of the factors that cause acquired hemophilia are pregnancy, cancer, autoimmune conditions, or multiple sclerosis.
