Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to make blood clots, leading to prolonged bleeding. It is primarily caused by mutations in the genes responsible for clotting factors, usually inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. Treatment often involves replacement therapy, where missing clotting factors are administered, along with preventive measures to avoid injuries. Advances in gene therapy also show promise for more permanent solutions in the future.
