Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Hemophilia is a genetic disorder in which the clotting of blood after a wound does not occur easily and properly and coagulation of blood takes time. The improper blood clotting can lead to excessive bleeding and infections over time and hence the death of an individual. This disease is also known as the royal disease as Queen Victoria was believed to have been a carrier of the disease.
