Abstract
Hemophilia A and B are traditionally thought of as a single bleeding disorder, viewed as opposite sides of the same coin. Yet the differences between the 2 forms of congenital hemophilia extend far beyond the type of deficient clotting factor-factor VIII for hemophilia A and factor IX (FIX) for hemophilia B. This supplement focuses on the unique laboratory and clinical issues associated with FIX replacement therapy for children and adults with hemophilia B.
