Hemophilia.
Well today’s the first day I have started working on my Hemophilia project, so far I have learned allot. So far I have found that it is located on the X chromosome and that is why it is more common in males. It’s found in 1 in every 10,000 males in the United States. Hemophilia can be found all over the world. There are two types, Hemophilia A and B. Hemophilia A is the most common it is also called "classic Hemophilia" people that have this have a deficiency in clotting factor VIII this clotting factor is either missing or at a low level in the body.
