Abstract
Haemophilia is a group of inherited blood disorders in which there is life-long defect in the clotting mechanism. The most common types of haemophilia are haemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency) and haemophilia B (factor FIX deficiency). They are inherited as X-linked recessive traits; therefore, males are affected and females are carriers. Females can
be affected as well. In 30% of cases, no family history is obtainable because of spontaneous new mutation. The mean prevalence of haemophilia A in Malaysia has increased from 5.6 per 100,000 males in 1998 to 6.6 per 100,000 males in 2006, with a mean of 5.9 ± 0.4 per 100,000 males and for haemophilia B, 1.00 ± 0.11 per 100,000 males. The prevalence for the high income countries was 2.69 ± 1.61 per 100,000 males whereas the prevalence for the rest of the world was
1.20 ± 1.33 per 100,000 males.
