What is the difference between Haemophilia and Leukomeia ?how are both caused?
Hemophilia is a genetic disease in which the patient does not develop a proper blood clotting mechanism. It is a X- linked recessive disorder which involves lack of functional blood clotting factor.
Leukemia is a type of cancer of the blood cells (leukocytes) in which there is abnormal increase in the number of immature white blood cells. . This makes them dangerous for the body as the crowding makes the bone marrow unable to produce healthy blood cells. Also, the composition of blood will deviate as a result of it causing further problems and it may cause death. It is not a inheritable disease
There may be several causes of leukemia like
- DNA mutation
- exposure to harmful radiations or chemicals
- infection by some viruses
- chromosomal abnormalities
