The major types of this condition are hemophilia A (also known as classic hemophilia) and hemophilia B (also known as Christmas disease). Although the two types have very similar signs and symptoms, they are caused by mutations in different genes.
(Also known as Christmas Disease, after the first patient studied in detail, not the holy day.) Historical and clinical features resemble those in classic hemophilia (HEMOPHILIA A), but patients present with fewer symptoms.

2. Haemophilia B (factor IX deficiency, Christmas disease), also X linked, due to deficiency of coagulation factor IX.
Hemophilia B is caused by the deficiency of Factor IX. It is also known as Christmas disease. It occurs in 1 in 100,000 male births.
Treatment is by blood products that introduce clotting factor IX and replace lost blood. Hemophilia B is also called Christmas disease (so-named for the first patient studied in detail with the disease).
