Information for Women a female who inherits one affected x chromosome becomes a carrier of hemophilia she can pass the affected gene on to her children in addition a female who is a carrier sometimes can have symptoms of hemophilia in fact some doctors describe these women as having mild hemophilia females who carry the hemophilia gene and have any symptoms of the disorder should be checked and cared for by a health care provider good quality medical care from doctors and nurses who know a lot about the disorder can help prevent some serious problems

- Hemophilia affects people from all ethnic groups. The daughters of men with hemophilia will be carriers. However, even if hemophilia runs in the family, only about half of the sons of carriers will have hemophilia.

Women with Hemophilia Women with Hemophilia. Even though hemophilia mostly affects men, women who are carriers of the faulty gene causing hemophilia A and hemophilia B may also experience mild symptoms. They are rarely diagnosed with the disease, however, because the condition is not severe, allowing them to lead full lives.

- that are below the normal range. These carriers can have symptoms similar to mild hemophilia. Some carriers have symptoms similar to severe hemophilia but this is quite rare. A female who has lower than normal clotting factor levels and has symptoms of factor deficiency is called a symptomatic carrier of hemophilia.

- A.Hemophilia is a rare type of bleeding disorder that occurs when there is a deficiency or absence of a particularprotein (clotting factor) needed for blood to clot. As a result, a person with hemophilia will experience longer bleedingafter an injury because the clot formed is not strong enough to stop the bleeding.

Learning About Hemophilia People who have severe hemophilia have spontaneous bleeding into the joints and muscles. Hemophilia occurs more commonly in males than in females. The two most common types of hemophilia are hemophilia A (also known as classic hemophilia) and hemophilia B (also known as Christmas disease). People who have hemophilia A have low levels of a blood clotting factor called factor eight (FVIII).

- The major types of this condition are hemophilia A (also known as classic hemophilia or factor VIII deficiency) and hemophilia B (also known as Christmas disease or factor IX deficiency). Although the two types have very similar signs and symptoms, they are caused by mutations in different genes.n females (who have two X chromosomes), a mutation would have to occur in both copies of the gene to cause the disorder. Because it is unlikely that females will have two altered copies of this gene, it is very rare for females to have hemophilia.

Hemophilia A 1 Males having one normal gene and females having two normal genes for Factor VIII are clear of the hemophilia A trait and will not transmit this defect to offspring. 2  Males having one abnormal gene are affected with hemophilia and will transmit that abnormal gene to all their daughters, but to none of their sons.nheritance. The gene for Factor VIII is carried on the X chromosome and the presence of one normal gene is sufficient to prevent hemophilia. This form of inheritance is called sex-linked (or X-linked), recessive.

Facts Thus, males can have a disease like hemophilia if they inherit an affected X chromosome that has a mutation in either the factor VIII or factor IX gene. Females can also have hemophilia, but this is much rarer. In such cases both X chromosomes are affected or one is affected and the other is missing or inactive. female with one affected X chromosome is a carrier of hemophilia. Sometimes a female who is a carrier can have symptoms of hemophilia. In addition, she can pass the affected X chromosome with the clotting factor gene mutation on to her children.

- More example sentences. 1  There is a 50% chance with each pregnancy that a carrier female will pass on the abnormal recessive gene. 2  A male can't pass the gene for hemophilia to his sons, though all his daughters will be carriers of the disease gene.

- 1 If that chromosome carries the abnormal hemophilia gene, the man will have the disease hemophilia. 2  Both hemophilia A and B are linked to the X chromosome, which means they primarily affect men. 3  Women have two X chromosomes.

Hemophilia A Hemophilia A is caused by an inherited X-linked recessive trait, with the defective gene located on the X chromosome. Females have 2 copies of the X chromosome. So if the factor VIII gene on 1 chromosome does not work, the gene on the other chromosome can do the job of making enough factor VIII.

A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what is the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia? A carrier for hemophilia refers to a female that has the genetic mutation for the disorder on one of her two X chromosomes. This means that she can pass the mutation on (with … a 50% chance) to her children.

However, even if hemophilia runs in the family, only about half of the sons of carriers will have hemophilia. Health care providers usually diagnose hemophilia before birth through a blood test.

How Hemophilia is Inherited So the daughter will not have hemophilia. A daughter will get either her mother's X chromosome with the hemophilia gene or her mother's X chromosome with the normal gene for clotting. If she gets the X chromosome with the hemophilia gene she will be a carrier. So a carrier's daughter has a 50% chance of being a carrier. All daughters of a man with hemophilia will be carriers (called obligate carriers). 2  If a carrier has a son, the son has a 50% chance of having hemophilia. 3  If a carrier has a daughter, the daughter has a 50% chance of being a carrier.

Hemophilia Hemophilia is an inherited genetic condition. This condition isn’t curable, but it can be treated to minimize symptoms and prevent future health complications. In extremely rare cases, hemophilia can develop after birth. This is called “acquired hemophilia.”

How Hemophilia is Inherited The normal blood clotting gene on the X chromosome from the mother is dominant, so the baby girl will not have hemophilia. She will, however, be a hemophilia carrier since she has the hemophilia gene on one of her X chromosomes.

Bleeding Disorders On the other hand, males, who have one X and one Y chromosome, will be affected by hemophilia if their one X chromosome has the defective gene. Because blood does not clot properly without enough clotting factor, any cut or injury carries the risk of excessive bleeding.

Haemophilia Haemophilia A affects about 1 in 5,000–10,000, while haemophilia B affects about 1 in 40,000, males at birth. As haemophilia A and B are X-linked recessive disorders females are very rarely severely affected. Some females with a nonfunctional gene on one of the X chromosomes may be mildly symptomatic.
