    Hemophilia A Hemophilia A, an X-linked genetic disease, is the most common coagulation disorder with an incidence of about 1-2 in 10,000 males and is caused by mutations in the factor VIII (FVIII) coagulation gene [PubMed1]. It causes infected individuals to not be able to coagulate their blood efficiently or at all when getting a cut or some injury in which blood is exposed. This disease can be very deadly because of major blood loss. Hemophilia A is an X-linked recessive disorder. This means that
