Is there such a thing as a less deadly version of hemophilia?


If there is, is it ever found in females? I know that only men get serious hemophilia.

You can have various functionality of the gene, which is how mild, moderate and severe hemophilia are teased out. But overall, they are pretty bad.
Many carriers (women) have a clotting level between 30% and 70% of normal and do not usually suffer from severe bleeding, although they may suffer from the most common symptom - heavy menstrual bleeding. However, some carriers have less than 30% of the normal level of Factor VIII or IX. These women are considered to be mild hemophiliacs.

It is not known how many carriers of Hemophilia A and B have bleeding problems. Estimates vary up to 60%.
