Hemophilia is a hemorrhagic diathesis that is caused by the hereditary deficiency of a factor (protein) of blood clotting and that affects mainly men. Its degree of severity can vary from cases with little bleeding, to very serious conditions that often lead to death. There are two types of hemophilia, A for lack of factor VIII, and B for lack of factor IX. This editorial summarizes the current state of progress of hemophilia from the clinical and laboratory point of view.
