Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that prevents blood clotting. Most common in men, there are two main types of hemophilia: hemophilia A and B. Below is a curated list of recommended reads for family members, friends and carers of patients with hemophilia, with help from Good Reads and Alibris.

Hemophilia A is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the *F8* gene, leading to a deficiency in clotting factor VIII. This impairs blood clotting and causes prolonged bleeding. While there is no cure, treatments like factor replacement therapy help manage symptoms.

SPK-8016, also known as RG6358, is an experimental gene therapy that was being investigated for hemophilia A patients who had developed neutralizing antibodies (inhibitors) against clotting factor VIII (FVIII).
Hemophilia A is a rare genetic disorder that affects the blood’s ability to clot properly. It is the most common form of hemophilia, responsible for 80% of all cases.
There is no cure for hemophilia A, but several treatments are available to help prevent and control bleeds, reduce the risk of complications, and improve quality of life. People with hemophilia A are susceptible to excessive and prolonged bleeding episodes because their bodies don’t make enough functional factor…
Hemophilia is a disorder wherein the blood is not able to clot properly. As a result, patients bleed easily, and it's unusually prolonged and heavy.
Jivi (damoctocog alfa pegol) is an approved lab-made replacement therapy designed to prevent or treat bleeding episodes in previously treated children and adults with hemophilia A. It is administered via into-the-vein (intravenous) infusions.
While hemophilia A and hemophilia B are both bleeding disorders characterized by deficiencies in blood clotting factors, there are differences in one type versus the other, particularly in the specific genetic mutations that cause the disease, and in some of the treatment methods.
