   A condition characterized by a tendency to profuse and
   uncontrollable hemorrhage from the slightest wounds; it is
   caused by an absence or abnormality of a clotting factor in
   the blood, and is a recessive genetic disease linked to the
   X-chromosome, and therefore usually occurs only in males;
   there are several specific forms. It may be treated by
   administering purified clotting factor. It was formerly
   termed Hematophilia.
