Hemophilia: A Descriptive Study of the Psycho-Social Implications of the Illness for the Patients and Their Families, the New York Hospital Hemophilia Clinic, 1968
Abstract
Hemophilia is an inherited disease in which the blood does not clot properly. Approximately one out of every 25,000 babies born has hemophilia. In classical hemophilia the female is the carrier and the disease itself appears only in the male children. If a woman is a carrier, there is a fifty per cent chance that her son will be born with hemophilia and her daughter will be a carrier.
