Hemophilia is a genetic disorder, and genetic information (including the genes related to hemophilia) is stored in nucleic acids (specifically DNA, a type of nucleic acid). Proteins are products of gene expression, lipids are for energy storage/structural roles, and carbohydrates are for energy. So nucleic acid carries the hereditary information for hemophilia's transmission.
