Epidemiology and Demographics

About 18,000 people in the United States have haemophilia. Each year, about 400 babies are born with the disorder. Haemophilia usually occurs in males and less often in females.

In the UK we now know that of every four baby boys born with Haemophilia, one will be born to a family with no previous history of the condition.
