Hemophilia? Hemofilia is a common misspelling of hemophilia.
Hemophilia is a rare bleeding disorder in which a person's blood does not clot properly. It is caused by a defect in one of the genes that determines how the body makes certain blood-clotting factors. When clotting factors are missing (or your body does not have enough clotting factors), it can take a long time for your blood to clot after an injury or accident. The major signs and symptoms of the disease are bleeding and bruising.
