Haemophilia B is a clotting disorder and occurs due to a deficiency of an essential clotting factor in the blood (clotting factor IX).
This disease is inherited (recessively) on the X chromosome, and hence is seen in male animals (who only have one copy of the X chromosome).
Haemophilia B is also sometimes called Christmas disease.
It is similar to haemophilia A, but in general causes less severe bleeding.
